Tasmanian Devil Multicellular organism The cell structure is an eukaryote Heterotroph and it is tertiary It eats birds, small animals, and reptiles Its size is 20 to 30 inches and it weighs 9 to 26 pounds Sexually reproductive and it can have 20 to 30 offspring The significance of the organism is a consumer Its habitat is forests, pastures, and plantations in

Tasmania Two interesting facts:

Its strong jaws bite through bones It only lives in Tasmania

Paramecium Unicellular organism The cell structure is an eukaryote Heterotroph and it is primary It eats bacteria Size of the Paramecium is 0.2 inches long. It is microscopic Asexually reproductive The significance of the organism is to consume bacteria Its habitat is in aquatic environment, in stagnant, and warm

water Two interesting facts:

It is most famous for their predator-prey relationship Oval, slipper shaped micro-organism
