      +Journey to the Microcosmos Mr. Hank Green, your voice sounds so calming and engaging when you speak quietly like this. Mr. Huang, your soundtrack makes this channel stick out in the best possible way, and Mr. Weiss, nice micro-cinematography.

      If the Stentor Polymorphus have a bunch of Algae inside the organism providing it with nutrients is it still single-celled what defines a single cell?

    • @emilythompson497
      @emilythompson497 5 лет назад +14

      Clifford Bryan john Wilson interesting question, and I am no expert on the topic, but I would argue that the stentor is still a single cell, just with "other" cells not belonging to the stentor living inside it. The stentor-algae relationship is symbiotic, meaning these multiple partners benefit from living in association with each other - but that doesn't change the fundamental structure of either organism. There are multicellular algal organisms living inside the stentor, but I don't classify that as transforming the stentor into a multicellular organism. A cell at its basic definition is cytoplasm surrounded by a membrane; it's the simplest unit of life, which is why single-celled organisms exist. But even though the stentor lives with many algal cells, the stentor itself has only one cell, with a bunch of cells belonging to other organisms inside it. Not sure if that made sense, and a lot of this is just my interpretation of the definitions, but I hope that helped!

    • @bradywells1293
      @bradywells1293 5 лет назад +12

      I had a similar thought when watching this video -- I thought back to high & middleschool biology classes, "The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell, the DNA is housed in the nucleus, chlorophyll is why plants are green, etc". I was just taught 'rules' with the same pictures of cell models and same catch-phrases as every other kid (presumably for standardized testing), but real-life biology is so much more fascinating with all the amazing variations on these themes. It's not like the fundamentals shouldn't be covered, but I think it's hard for kids to get excited about something that seems so static and dull.
      Quick and easy stories or rules for how things work are also a misrepresentation of science in general which is a larger disservice for laypeople or non-scientists, but that's another soapbox.

      Does your school have a library? There you could find some awesome books about subjects like this video. If your school hasn't a library, is there one where you live? The librarian can guide you to find great websites with information about your preferred subjects. If you are here, seemingly biology interests you.
      Ever considered that school gives you the basis of knowledge over which you can build a profession in science, or maybe in filmmaking? If it's a bad one, still you can get there at least the grades you need to later study whatever you want. It's an opportunity, don't miss it. I am a Spanish speaking person.
