Check understanding
- Names examples of unicellular organisms
- Lists the seven life processes (MRS NERG) and explains how a single cell performs each one
- Contrasts how unicellular organisms meet their needs compared to multicellular organisms
“If your child learned that bacteria are made of just one cell, could they explain how that single cell still manages to feed, grow, and reproduce — doing everything a whole body does?”
