CHAPTER 2: CELL STRUCTURE & CELL ORGANISATION

2.1 CELL STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION 2.2 CELL ORGANISATION

2.2 CELL ORGANISATION LEARNING OUTCOMES

Students should be able to:
1. State the necessity for specialisation in multicellular organisms 2. Describe cell specialisation in multicellular organisms 3. Describe cell organisation in the formation of tissues, organs and systems in multicellular organisms

Living process in unicellular organisms

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Habitat General characteristics Locomotion Feeding Osmoregulation Reproduction

Eg: Amoeba sp., Paramecium sp., Chlamydomonas sp., Euglena sp.

Amoeba sp.
1. Habitat Freshwater environment, soil water Surrounded by plasma membrane Change shape as it meets obstacles and respond to stimuli iii. Has pseudopodia @ false feet

2. i. General characte ii. ristics

Amoeba sp.
3. Feeding 4. Locomotion i. Engulf foods by phagocytosis ii. food packaging in a food vacuole i. Helped by pseudopodia which are formed as protrusions during movement i. Involve the contractile vacuole

5. Osmoregulation 6. Reproduction (asexual)

i. Binary fission ii. Formation of spores
