  • A little hint:

    There are cells, yes, for animals,humans, for individual living cells (like bacteriums, alga), and...?

    And it's very old in a way... very very old...

  • So it's a plant cell of some sort? Problem with this one is its a bit too specific ;\ So I'll throw out a stupid guess of chloroplast cell?

    No, mushrooms are plants, Fungi are a special group (like animals, plants and virii)

  • Nope, mushroom isn't plant (trust me ;) ), neither fughi. It's a plant cell of sort. But what kind of plant cell?

    btw. Virii aren't cells and aren't living creatures either.

  • The taxons (groups) of life on earth are:


    Animalia (all eucariontic heterotrophical organisms)
    Bacteria (pro-cariontic cells whether they're autotrophical or heterotrpohical or both)
    Fungi (mushrooms or whatever you want to call them, although there are also single-cellular fungi, and mushrooms arent single-cellular AFAIK)
    Plantae (All eucariontic autotrophical organisms)

    so, is that a "mushroom" on the picture?

    And yes, virii are basically just a short tape of RNA code wrapped in a protein sack that break into eucariontic cells' DNA code and make them turn into thousands of virii. They are obviously not "alive", since they don't exchange anything with their enviroment (they don't eat or breathe or dispose of their waste), and they can't reproduce on their own either (the cells they attack make new virii). They are believed to be the first attempt at life on earth, which ended up half-way between a complex organic molecule and a bacteria.

    A bit about shrooms:

    The basic taxon of mushrooms is the Fungi, and it has two classes:

    Ascomycetes, and Bazidiomycetes. Ascomycetes are:

    Eurotiales: here belongs penicilin (aspergiliaceae is the family, mold type fungi)
    Eurotiales: here belongs ergot (very toxic mold type fungi, grows on rise or wheat)
    Pezizales: these are bigger fungi, not mold type anymore, like morel, truffle,

    Bazidiomycetes are the things, that people call mushrooms.


    btw if we are in taxonomy, I can give you another hint, but this is the last one, and it is pretty helpfull:

    Coniferae

  • My guess is it's a photosynthetic cell (seeing as how it's green)

  • I accept tchr's vote. Yes, it's a pollen, a pollen from a pine tree, Pinus sylvestris. :)

    The two blobs you can see on the sides of the main big cell are sacks filled with air, it makes the pollen lighter and the wind can carry it more easier.

    Normal picture:

    @ Pol Pot: coloring is tricky, so it's mainly the shape that describs a cell the most. (most cells in microscope are painted, so they do not show their original colors, but this isn't painted). ;)

  • Well I guess I never thought of that :lol: at school we never used false-colored specimens (nor did we focus on plants much besides some cells from leaves)

    You wouldn't happen to mean "Communication is pure genius", would you? Just wondering, since it would make a lot more sense (atleast to me).
