  Big cells usually have multiple organelles of each type. They are less special than one would think, while being very strange indeed.

  This is one of the largest unicellular organisms, but as far as O know this is the largest:

  I want to know what the texture is like on this.

    I’m more interested in the mouthfeel.

      Asking the real questions,

      Is that just a thick ass phospholipid bi-layer?

      What’s going on here and can I eat that thing?

      What does cytoplasm taste like?

    For science, right?

      Of course it’s for science. Now don’t look while I probe it.

  I wonder how much strength the cell membrane has? Does it pop easily, and if not, what prevents it?

    Xenophyophores are multinucleate unicellular organisms found on the ocean floor

    A multinucleate cell (also known as multinucleated cell or polynuclear cell) is a eukaryotic cell that has more than one nucleus, i.e., multiple nuclei share one common cytoplasm

    There’s stuff down there…

      This algae ball also has multiple nuclei

  They are fantastic. Some years ago I got a sudden urge (from seeing them on subreddits) to grow these in my aquaria, but then I looked at several aquarist forums and realized that I shouldn’t. Really shouldn’t. They kind of don’t seem like they need more habitats to thrive in.

  • edg@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Are they invasive or something?

    • Seleni@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      More like incredibly aggressive. They are a type of algae after all. If you don’t keep a firm leash on them they’ll reproduce enough to drain all the oxygen and nutrients from an enclosed system like an aquarium.

      Plant tribbles, if you will.

    They appear in tidal zones of tropical and subtropical areas, like the Caribbean, north through Florida, south to Brazil, and in the Indo-Pacific. Overall, they inhabit every ocean throughout the world, often living in coral rubble.
