Solution

Paramecium is a unicellular organism whereas mushrooms, deers and humans are multicellular organisms.

In the case of Paramecium, a single cell is responsible for all necessary functions for survival like excretion, ingestion, growth and reproduction. So, damage to one cell can lead to the death of the organism.
