Some of the major organelles include the nucleus, mitochondria, lysosomes, the endoplasmic reticulum, and the Golgi apparatus. Plant cells also include chloroplasts, which are responsible for photosynthesis.
Use these classroom resources to examine how cells function with your students. Even the most basic parts of a cell can enable complex cellular processes, and multifunctional organelles expand these capabilities to make advanced activities possible for higher life-forms.
Organelles are specialized structures that perform various tasks inside cells.

Image frontonia protist There are many types of unicellular organisms in the world, including protists like this one, which feed mainly on diatoms, amoebas, bacteria, and algae.

Cells and the Versatile Functions of Their Parts. The shape of the unicellular organism is irregular. The multicellular organisms have a definite shape.
The unicellular organism has a simple body organization. They have complex body organization. In a unicellular organism, a single cell is responsible to carry the process of life In a multicellular organism, different cells are specialized to perform different functions.
Unicellular organism includes both eukaryotes and prokaryotes. Whereas, multicellular organisms only include eukaryotes. The overall body cell of a unicellular organism is exposed to the environment. In a multicellular organism, only the outer cells are exposed to the environment. Division of labor, in a unicellular organism, is at organelle level On the other hand, a division of labor, in a multicellular organism, is at cellular, organ system level and organs.
Usually, a lifespan is short. A lifespan of a multicellular organism is long. The unicellular organism is reproduced by asexual reproduction. Multicellular organisms are reproduced by sexual reproduction. If there is any injury to a cell it can lead to the death of the organism. Similarly, it happens in multicellular organisms. In a unicellular organism, cell differentiation is absent. Cell differentiation is obvious in a multicellular organism.
The unicellular organism is heterotrophs in nature. Multicellular organisms are both heterotrophs and autotrophs in nature. Certain specialized cells in unicellular organisms do not lose the power of division. Power of division may lose. In a unicellular organism, a well-marked capacity of regeneration is present. On the other hand, the capacity of regeneration decreases with increasing specialization. Cells of a unicellular organism play the same role of both whether for itself or other organisms.
But in multicellular organisms, cells have a double role for themselves and other organisms. It can be visible under a microscope only but not with naked eyes.
