8. Tasmanian Devil Multicellular organism
The cell structure is an eukaryote
Heterotroph and it is tertiary
It eats birds, small animals, and reptiles
Its size is 20 to 30 inches and it weighs 9 to 26 pounds
Sexually reproductive and it can have 20 to 30 offspring
The significance of the organism is a consumer
Its habitat is forests, pastures, and plantations in Tasmania
Two interesting facts:
Its strong jaws bite through bones
It only lives in Tasmania

9. Paramecium Unicellular organism The cell structure is an eukaryote
Heterotroph and it is primary
It eats bacteria
Size of the Paramecium is 0.2 inches long. It is microscopic
Asexually reproductive
The significance of the organism is to consume bacteria
Its habitat is in aquatic environment, in stagnant, and warm water
Two interesting facts:
It is most famous for their predator-prey relationship
Oval, slipper shaped micro-organism
