Big Idea
CELLS: *All living things are made up of cells
Single-celled organism (unicellular): made up of ONE cell
Ex: Bacteria
-Very tiny
-You cannot see these with the naked eye (have to use a microscope)
Multi-celled Organism (multicellular): made up of MANY cells.
Ex: Humans, trees, animals, plants
-Bigger
-Can see them when looking
-Work together to complete functions for living.
Cells--> Tissue--> Organs
