8Da Unicellular vs Multicellular
Learning Objective
Success Criteria
● I can use cell features to identify members of different
kingdoms
● Cells of the same type work together in tissues, which work together
to form organs, which work together to form organ systems
Organ Life
Cells Tissues Organs
Systems Processes
Unicellular Organisms
● Some organisms will still carry out all 7 life processes but
they are only made of one cell
Protoctist
Bacteria
Fungi
Diffusion
● Diffusion is the movement of particles from an area of high
concentration to an area of low concentration (remember from
Year 7)
● Animals
● Plants
● Fungi
● Protoctists
● Prokaryotes (bacteria)

● Multicellular (made of ● Multicellular (made of
many cells) many cells)
● Cells have multiple ● Cells have multiple
different organelles different organelles
● Examples – maize, peas ● Examples – mammals and
and beans insects
The 5 Kingdoms
Fungi Protoctists
● Multicellular (made of ● Mostly unicellular
many cells) ● Cells have multiple
● Cells have multiple different organelles but
different organelles but no only some have
chloroplasts chloroplasts or cell walls
● Examples – mucor and ● Examples – algae and
yeast amoeba
Microorganisms and Kingdoms
Organisms are classified in to 5 kingdoms depending on
what their cells look like. The 5 kingdoms are:
● Animals
● Plants
● Fungi
● Protoctists
● Prokaryotes (bacteria)

Prokaryotes (Bacteria)
● Unicellular (made of one
cell)
● Cells have simple
structures and typically
have a cytoplasm, cell
membrane and cell wall
● Examples – bacteria and
salmonella
