Unicellular Microorganisms and their Organelles Unicellular organisms, must carry out all the functions that a multicellular organism needs to live with many of the same organelles. Below are three examples of unicellular, eukaryotic protozoans. pseudopod Amoeba food vacuole plasma membrane Paramecium anterior contractile vacuole cytoplasm oral groove macronucleus contractile vacuole cell mouth (cytostome) micronucleus cytoplasm nucleus food vacuole pellicle anal pore cilia posterior contractile vacuole flagellum Euglena golgi apparatus cytoplasm nucleolus reservoir plasma membrane mitochondria eyespot chloroplast nucleus contractile vacuole rough endoplasmic reticulum Unicellular Microorganisms and their Organelles Unicellular organisms, must carry out all the functions that a multicellular organism needs to live with many of the same organelles.
