What rhymes with unicellular organism?
uni·cel·lu·lar or·gan·ism

A unicellular organism, also known as a single-celled organism, is an organism that consists of only one cell, unlike a multicellular organism that consists of multiple cells. Historically the simple single celled organisms have sometimes been referred to as monads. The main groups of unicellular organisms are bacteria, archaea, protozoa, unicellular algae and unicellular fungi. Unicellular organisms fall into two general categories: prokaryotic organisms and eukaryotic organisms.Unicellular organisms are the oldest form of life, they existed 3.8 billion years ago. Prokaryotes, most protists, and some fungi are unicellular. Although some of these organisms live in colonies, they are still unicellular. These organisms live together, and each cell in the colony is the same. However, each cell must carry out all life processes in order for that cell to survive. In contrast, even the simplest multicellular organisms have cells that depend on each other in order to survive. Some organisms are partially uni- and multicellular, like Dictyostelium discoideum. Other can be unicellular and multinucleate, like Myxogastria and Plasmodium. ‘Candidatus Magnetoglobus multicellularis’, related to Deltaproteobacteria, is a multicellular prokaryote. It is neither unicellular, nor a colony.
