coe|no|cyte

coe|no|cyte
coe|no|cyte «SEE nuh syt, SEHN uh-», noun.
a mass of cytoplasm containing many nuclei enclosed by a single cell wall, as in some green algae and many fungi: »

Wall formation does not take place and therefore the fully grown cell, which may be half an inch long, has thousands of nuclei distributed within the cytoplasm, forming a large coenocyte (Fred W. Emerson).

[< Greek koinós common + English -cyte]
