You would think its just what you eat for breakfast right? But its much more than that.
Here we see an egg as a cell, just like the cells in our body...... except it is the largest on on earth. Cool right man?
The largest biological cell is often cited as the ostrich egg, which is about 15 cm (6 in) long and weigh about 1.4 kg (3 lb). This is a myth. There are at least several biological cells larger than an ostrich egg, despite the fact that even numerous scientists and laypeople believe the ostrich egg is indeed the largest biological cell. The ostrich may actually be the heaviest cell, but this has not yet been tested.
