2. The food that we eat leads to an increase in the size of cells. After reaching the
certain size, a cell divides into two by a process known as cell division. Increase in

the number of cells in the body as the result of the cell division is responsible for
growth in organisms.
3. Unicellular organisms: The organisms whose body imade of only a single cell is
called a unicellular organism, e.g. Amoeba, Paramoecium, Chlamydomonas,
Yeast, Euglena etc.
Muliticellular Organisms: The organisms whose body is made of many cells is
called a multicellular organisms, e.g. Main, Hardra Dag, Elephant etc.
4. Eukaryotes: These are the organisms whose cells contain well defined nucleus
with a clear nuclear membrane. Examples are onion cells, cheek cells.
Prokaryotes: These are the organisms whose cells have not definite nucleus i.e.
without nuclear membrane. Examples are bacteria, blue-green algae.
