Do you know any kinds of cells with really funky internal structures?

mm probably this one!

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.

sure am glad I don’t have to deal with that!
