Chapter 1: Transport (Unicell and multicell)

1.1 Problem faced by multicellular in obtaining their cellular requirements and removing their waste products



Unicellular organisms:


  • Eg: Amoeba sp and Paramecium sp
  • Have large total surface area (TSA/V)
  • Obtain oxygen and nutrients
  • Carbon dioxide eliminated by diffusion (simple diffusion)
  • Doesnt need internal transport system

Multicellular organisms:

  • Eg: man, cow, rat, etc
  • Have small TSA/V
