Explanation:

Unicellular Organisms Multicellular Organisms

Unicellular organisms are composed of a single cell Multicellular organisms are composed of more than one cell

Simple body organization Complex body organization

A single cell carries out all necessary life processes Multiple cells perform different functions

The total cell body is exposed to the environment Only the outer cells are exposed to the environment

Division of labour is at the organelle level Division of labour is at cellular, tissue, organs and organ system level

Includes both eukaryotes and prokaryotes Includes only eukaryotes

A lifespan of a unicellular organism is usually short Multicellular organisms have a comparatively longer lifespan

Injury to the cell leads to the death of the organism Injury to a cell does not cause the death of the multicellular organism

Asexual reproduction is predominant, however, sexual reproduction is also seen (conjugation) Reproduction happens sexually as well as asexually

Cell differentiation is absent Cell differentiation is present

They can be autotrophs or heterotrophs They include both autotrophs and heterotrophs

They are microscopic in nature Most are macroscopic in nature

Bacteria, amoeba, paramecium, and yeast are examples of unicellular organisms Humans, animals, plants, birds and insects, are examples of multicellular organisms

Unicellular

Organisms made of a single cell are said to be unicellular.

All the functions are performed by a single cell.

They are usually microscopic (small) and are less complex.

E.g: amoeba

Multicellular

Organisms made of more than one cell/cell types are said to be multicellular.

Different cells are specialized to perform specific functions.

They are large and more complex.

E.g: plants, animals etc.
