In the human body, the largest cell is the unfertilized egg cell (100-200 micrometers). However, as large as it is, it is still only the size of a small dot made by a pencil.

All unfertilized egg yolks are single cells, therefore frog eggs, chicken eggs and most certainly ostrich eggs, provide examples of easily visible single cells.

These single cells can also be seen without the aid of a microscope:

-The green algae Caulerpa can grow up to a meter long although it is a single cell. It can be seen in many salt water aquariums.

-Look at what you are eating in an orange or grapefruit. Each tiny sac of juice, with its thin tapered ends, is an individual plant cell.

-Thiomargarita namibiensis, the largest bacterium ever discovered, is no bigger than the period at the end of this sentence, but it can be seen without a microscope.
