I find it fascinating, but also a little unsettling, that I can moss leaves are one cell thick but I can still see them with the naked eye.
There’s a whole world down there, that i never really thought about until a week ago.

Eggs are also single cells visible to the naked eye.
If you are talking about like, chicken eggs - no they are not. There is a single cell, the actual fertilized egg from which new life will grow, that is inside what we call an “egg” that we buy, which is protection and nutrients.
It’s kind of like the seed of a plant, which is also not just a single cell, but a nutrient carrier for initial development.
So most of the cell is tasty food, what of it?
