One Cell, Many Nuclei

Open to everyone until Friday, October 2

To keep it, print it while it is open.

A single living cell can hold many nuclei inside it. Animals, plants, and fungi are usually made of many cells instead.

In the picture

  1. The pale yellow mass: one living cell
  2. The tiny dark dots inside the mass: many nuclei in that one cell
  3. The small insect: an animal made of many cells
  4. The tan mushroom: a fungus made of many cells

Examples

  • A slime mold creeping over a damp log
  • A Caulerpa seaweed growing in warm seawater
