*The cell is the smallest unit of a living thing.
*Some organisms are made of a single cell
[unicellular like Organism B in the previous slide]
*Some organisms are made up of many cells
[multicellular like Organism A in the previous slide]
*Each cell whether part of a unicellular organism or
a multicellular organism performs all the
activities that characterize life.
*Multicellular organisms are more complex than
unicellular organisms [the horse is a more complex
organism than the paramecium]
