Question

the micrographs below show cells from two different organisms: an amoeba, unicellular, and a hamster, which is multicellular. an amoeba hamster skin cells complete the table to describe the organisms shown in the micrographs above.

Explanation:

• Made up of one cell: The amoeba is unicellular, so it should be checked for the amoeba. The hamster is multicellular, so it should not be checked for the hamster.
• Made up of many cells: The hamster is multicellular, so it should be checked for the hamster. The amoeba is unicellular, so it should not be checked for the amoeba.
• Essential processes happen in a cell: Both the amoeba (a single - celled organism) and the hamster (each of its cells is involved in essential processes) have essential processes happening in cells. So both should be checked.
• A cell is its basic unit of structure: According to cell theory, the cell is the basic unit of structure for all living organisms. So both should be checked.
