that wouldn’t be an unfounded hypothesis. surface area to volume ratio is extremely important in cells. by artificially lowering the volume (by taking up a lot of it with a structure) the cell can make better use of its existing surface area
though it looks like the volume of these structures aren’t that large comparatively
What if they’re only to make the cells bigger so our bodies don’t need to make so many of them to reach a total size as large as we are?
Should be called the chungus then
