it’s Valonia ventricosa (also called bubble algae or sailor’s eyeballs) and that whole mess is, in fact, a single cell.

and because this one cell is so damn huge, it contains multiple nucleuses and billions upon billions of individual chloroplasts.

go ahead and stick this thing under a microscope, I dare you.

but the really bonkers part… is that in order to reproduce, these fucking things undergo mitosis just like any other cell.
