Your friend read an article on the internet today about a new single-celled organism that has been discovered by scientists in Africa. She said the organism is the size of a mouse, and lives in freshwater streams. You tell her to check the source because you think she has read a hoax. How do you know?

1.Because an organism of that size would have been discovered years before now. 2.Single-celled organisms can’t survive in fresh water. 3.A single-celled organism could not attain that size. They are limited by surface-to-volume ratio. 4.There would have to be many more than one, since cells must come from other cells. If they only collected one, it must be a hoax.
