Unicellular organisms
Uni = one

Multicellular organisms
Multi = many

Organisms that consist of only one cell and carry out all the life processes

Organisms that consist of many cells and carry out all the life processes
1. Some multicellular organisms are made up of a few cells. They are too tiny to be seen with our naked eyes 2. They are microorganisms too 3. Other multicellular organisms Are made up of millions of cells 4. Each type of a cell has a different Structure and carries out specific functions

1. Unicellular organisms are Microorganisms

2. They are very tiny and can only be seen under a microscope
