2. 2.2
CELL ORGANIZATION
Multicellular organisms can
feed, respire, excrete, move,
respond
to stimuli, reproduce and grow.
Unicellular organisms are
organisms with just a single cell.
So how is this organism able to
perform all the living
3. Lesson Outcomes
ď Understand living process in
unicellular organism
the movement in unicellular
organism
the reproduction in unicellular organism
the feeding in unicellular organism
the exchange of materials in unicellular
organism
4. CELL ORGANIZATION
ORGANISMS
UNICELLULAR
ORGANISM
ďśSingle cell
organism
MULTICELLULAR
ORGANISM
ďślarger organism
with more than
one cell
5. UNICELLULAR ORGANISM
ď Simple organism
consists of a single
cell
ď Each cell or
organism is a
complete unit of
life ~able to carry
out all living
processes
8. Living processes of
unicellular organism
~~~ Amoeba sp
ďśLives in freshwater lakes,
damp soil
ďś Enclosed in plasma
membrane
ďś constantly change shape
ďśAlso called protozoa
9. Feeding Locomotion
Living
processes of
amoeba sp.
Reproduction
Respiration
Excretion
Responses to
stimuli
10. Movement of Amoeba sp.
ď Move by extending
temporary
pseusopodia or âfalse
footâ
ď The rest of cytoplasm
flow slowly into this
extension, hence move
the organism along
11. Feeding of Amoeba sp.
ď Engulf food via phagocytosis
ď Holozoic organism - feed on microbes
15. Respiration of Amoeba sp.
O2
CO2
O2
CO2
Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide
occurs through the plasma membrane
through simple diffusion.
16. Excretion of Amoeba sp.
⢠The contractile vacuole is
involved in osmoregulation.
⢠Water diffuses into the cell and
fills the contractile vacuole.
⢠When the vacuole is filled to its
maximum size, it contracts to
expel its contents.
17. Responses to stimuli
⢠Amoeba sp. reacts by retreating from
adverse stimuli such as bright light and acidic
solution.
⢠In contrast, favourable stimuli such as
contact with food, cause it to move towards
the stimuli.
Food
Light
acids
18. Reproduction of Amoeba
sp.
ď Binary fission - asexual
reproduction
ď Once grown to a certain size
the nucleus divides
ď Cytoplasm divides
ď 2 daughter cells form.
ď When environment not
conducive, divides by spore
formation
22. 2.2 CELL ORGANISATION
MULTICELLULAR ORGANISM
ď Organism - more than one cell
ď Larger organisms ~Need many
different types of cells to carry out
life processes
ď Achieved via cell specialisation and
cell organisation

buds and leaves
ROOT SYSTEM

73. The process to regulate and
maintain internal environment
- HOMEOSTASIS
Necessity:
to maintain optimal internal environment so that
cells can function optimally
74. What is internal environment?
1. Interstitial fluid
2. Blood plasma
75. Homeostasis of Body Fluids
1. intracellular fluid = within cells
= cytoplasm
2. extracellular fluid = outside cells
ď§ intercellular fluid = tissue fluid =
interstitial fluid
ď§ plasma = fluid portion of blood
Composition of fluids change as substances move
between compartments
ďś nutrients, oxygen, ions and wastes move in both
directions across capillary walls
76.
77. HOMEOSTASIS
Factors to Maintain:
- Internal factors :
1. Physical:
⢠Temperature
⢠Blood pressure
⢠Osmotic pressure
2. Chemical:
⢠Salt
⢠Sugar
⢠pH
78.
79. How is this (homeostasis)
controlled?
Negative Feedback
Mechanism
84. Why are these cells so unique?
⢠They can perform their function optimally!
⢠Red blood cell â without nucleus â they
have a lot of spaces for hemoglobin so a
lot of oxygen can be carried.
⢠Bone â they have calcium
