2.2 CELL ORGANISATIONLiving processes in unicellular organisms-Unicellular organisms can feed,respire,excrete,move,respond tostimuli,reproduce andgrow.Eg:
Amoeba
sp.-living in freshwater / soil water environmentRespirationExchange of O₂ and CO₂ occurs through the Plasmamembrane by diffusionResponsesto stimuli-Sunlight/acidic solution cause
Amoeba
to retreat-Favourable stimuli -food causes it to move towards thestimuliGrowthIncreasing cytoplasm & lining of plasma membraneFeedingBy Phagocytosis
Amoeba
sp. Approaches the food Two pseudopodia extend out andenclose the food particlesFood particles then packed in a food vacuoleFood vacuole fuses with lysosome(contain lysozyme enzyme)Food is digested by lysozymeNutrients then absorbed into the cytoplasm
