  If you were to spit on it, would it pop?

  Is this how… we used to look at one point in history?

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

  it looks like a taut grape that’s begging to be squeezed to burst.

    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…

      So if you shake it, it will rattle?

      This algae ball also has multiple nuclei

  That’s insane. I thought it was already amazing that you can almost see some amoeba with the naked eye.

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

  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 ⁨months⁩ ago

    Are they invasive or something?

    source

    • Regna@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      To give an exceptionally brief explanation:

      • Yes.

      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.

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

  • lugal@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Isn’t that true for all cells? I think human cells also have more than one mitochondria

    source

    • Gladaed@feddit.org ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Some human cells have 0. But all have few.

      source
  • IAmNorRealTakeYourMeds@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    this is the correct answer.

    I’m betting their mitochondria are normal sized, they just have lots and lots of them.

  I want to hold it. Where can I find it?

  • TachyonTele@piefed.social ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    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.

      Ohh. Why have never seen one before

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

  • ToiletFlushShowerScream@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    It’s a plastic like feel, smooth. Mostly Tasteless. Filled with salty water, but outside is pretty thin and delicate and splits easily. Doesn’t bounce more than once. Most you find are quite small, pearl sized. Outside of water it tends to get wrinkly out of water for very long.

    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.
