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
- The pale yellow mass: one living cell
- The tiny dark dots inside the mass: many nuclei in that one cell
- The small insect: an animal made of many cells
- 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
Key takeaways
- One cell can contain many nuclei.
- Animals, plants, and fungi are built from many cells.
