Unicellular vs. Multicellular Unicellular- single celled Examples: bacteria, yeast, Amoeba, some algae Carry out all life processes in one cell.
Unicellular vs. Multicellular Multicellular- many celled Evolved from unicellular organisms Cells are specialized to perform certain functions Examples: nerve cells- carry impulses leaf cells- photosynthesize
Plant vs. Animal Plant Cell wall One large vacuole Chloroplasts No centrioles Rectangular shape Animal No cell wall Small vacoules No chloroplasts centrioles Various shapes
TYPES OF CELLS PROKARYOTIC Small No nucleus No membrane bound organelles Example: bacteria
TYPES OF CELLS EUKARYOTIC Larger More complex Contain membrane bound organelles Contain a nucleus Example: plant and animal cells
