Increased filtration efficiency of attached compared to free-swimming flagellates
Heterotrophic flagellates often attach to surfaces while feeding. A possible fluid dynamic reason is that attachment increases filtration efficiency. This was investigated experimentally and theoretically. The effect of attachment on flow field and clearance was studied by video microscopy in the nanoflagellates Paraphysomonas vestita and Pteridomonas danica. The flow field around feeding cells...
متن کاملThe increased efficiency of fish swimming in a school
There is increasing evidence that fish gain energetic benefits when they swim in a school. The most recent indications of such benefits are a lower tail (or fin) beat at the back of a school and reduced oxygen consumption in schooling fish versus solitary ones. How such advantages may arise is poorly understood. Current hydrodynamic theories concern either fish swimming side by side or in a dia...
متن کاملFree Kinetosomes in Australian Flagellates
An electron microscope study was made of Deltotrichonympha and Koruga, two closely-related hypermastigote flagellates that live in the hindgut of the Australian termite, Mastotermes darwiniensis These symbiotic protozoans have a typical flagellated rostrum and long body flagella. Their "giant centrioles" (centriolar apparatus) are large, fibrillar, and granular bodies which do not resemble typi...
متن کاملApple leaf senescence: leaf disc compared to attached leaf.
Attached apple leaves (Pyrus malus L., Golden Delicious) began to lose protein in early August as the first sign of senescence. Apple leaf discs prepared from samples before early August gained protein for up to 7 days after detachment. After early August, the loss of protein from leaf discs was no greater than the loss from attached leaves in 7 days. The loss of chlorophyll from leaf discs beg...
متن کاملHydrodynamic glide efficiency in swimming.
The glide is a major part of starts, turns and the stroke cycle in breaststroke. Glide performance, indicated by the average velocity, can be improved by increasing the glide efficiency, that is, the ability of the body to minimise deceleration. This paper reviews the factors that affect glide efficiency. In the first part of the review the sources of resistive force are reviewed including surf...
