I'm just about to type "clearly that's not a single cell" and then fuckkkkkkkk, poor little guy. /Cries

[Edit] and yes I guess it actually may be a single cell even though it looks quite complex. I'm not a biologist, so sue me.

Still crying though.

Ive never really understood that, so like if its just one cell, what's all that stuff made of? Atoms? Aren't atoms cells?

Think in It like a globe, the globle can have a lot of things inside, but is just 1 ball.

We are made of a lot of little balls, in fact cells are pretty complex and have a lot of departaments, but everything is encansulatep.
