    Unicellular Organisms: No Brain Too Small BIOLOGY

    Unicellular organisms can be either autotrophic or heterotrophic. Autotrophs such as Chlamydomonas and Euglena produce their own food through photosynthesis using chloroplasts, while heterotrophs like Amoeba and Paramecium must consume other organisms for food. All unicellular organisms have structures that allow them to survive and obtain nutrients, such as flagella and cilia for movement, contractile vacuoles to regulate water levels, and chloroplasts, eyespots, food vacuoles, and other organs for feeding and waste removal.

    Unicellular Organisms

    Unicellular organisms are found almost anywhere there is water. Some are autotropic and produce their own food by photosynthesis, while others are
    heterotrophic and must eat food produced by other organisms. The structures within a unicellular organism tells us a lot about their way of life.

    Heterotrophic: it has cilia


    which pulsate, moving the
    organism towards food.
    The food moves into the
    oral groove, forming a food
    vacuole, which enters the
    organism where food is
    digested. The waste leaves
    the organism via an anal
    pore.
