We Are Lucky These Are Microscopic...

[@JamsGerms]

Hello everyone! I prepared another explanatory video for you today. Hope you people will enjoy it. Also don't forget to check my Instagram, I post a new video there each day! instagram.com/jam_and_germs/

[@jenniferkhatchaturian8319]

Jam's Germs could you maybe make the explanation font a tad bit darker next time? It would really help us see the text onscreen.

[@joehostile4541]

Actually you should just do a voice over about the cell and what it’s doing. Or add some music.

[@babe101103]

I really enjoy watching your videos, I suppose we share a common passion. I was wondering if you could tell me what type of microscope you use to make your videos? The clarity is amazing!

[@h-milch371]

Thanks to you, I would like to buy a microscope now. Can you recommend a cheap microscope to look at large to medium sized single-celled organisms? Thank you in advance :)

[@themostokaypersonever84]

Do you ever sneak into your local Kroger at 3:52 am through the back door that you propped open during store hours in order to make your way over to the ice cream sandwiches and then open each individual ice cream sandwich up and cum inside the frosting of every one on the shelf and after your done you reseal the ice cream sandwiches and meticulously put them back on the shelf, making sure nobody can tell what you did? Me neither. Anyways, long story short, is it just me or should it be easier to flatten a stray dog or cat into the shape of a frisbee that you can both throw at kids in your local park while they run away screaming and also use the animal frisbee to play smooth jazz on when placed on a record player? I've tried hydraulic presses, running them over with my car, throwing manhole covers at them from large heights, melting them down and pouring them into a mold, yet I still can't get the quality stray animal record/frisbee I'm looking for. Anyhow, remember kids eat school, go to drugs, and don't do vegetables.

[@inquaanate2393]

I think the most impressive thing here is that after it stings that cell it looks for the body. How does a single cell recognise that a past event should dictate its current behaviour in such a complex manner. I wonder how long it would take for the organism to forget about its quarry. I’ve studied as a biochemist, the molecular explanation for this behaviour in a single cell must be amazing,

[@clapdrix72]

Knowing absolutely nothing about this field won't stop me from speculating: it seems like it would have to be genetically programmed behavior where the release of a toxin barb unequivocally triggers the "search" movements. The organisms that didn't have this behavior sequence programmed wouldn't have made it this far evolutionarily. That hypothesis would be easy enough to test I should think.

[@Nonamelol.]

@@clapdrix72 I completely agree maybe they’re programmed like a computer. “If (action) happens, do (action)” In this case, “If a cell is killed, look for the cell”.

[@GaffsNotLaffs]

@@clapdrix72 would be very interesting to see if after killing a cell the scientist were to remove the dead cell if it would ever realize it’s no longer there or just keep searching for it until it starves and dies

If Dileptus is single celled , the proboscis cant have toxicytes. Dileptus has membranebound extrusomes wich can eject their contents really fast. Harpooning seems to be fitting here :D
