If p. caudatum is roughly twice as large as p. aurelia, how did the total number of cells compare after 22 days of separate growth?

Respuesta :

After 22 days of separate growth, the two species had approximately the same volume (just over 200 micrometers3). If P. caudatum was twice as large, then it took about half as many cells as P. aurelia to make up the same volume.

The experiment here clearly indicates that when each species are growth seperately in separate media they show very well growing potential and the cell volume.

  • The genus Paramecium of the phylum Ciliophora contains the unicellular organisms known as Paramecium aurelia. They have cilia all throughout their bodies, which aid in locomotion and feeding. Paramecium has three ways of reproducing: asexually, sexually, and by endomixis.
  • P. caudatum has two contractile vacuoles, which function to expel extra water taken in from the environment and control the body's water content.
