The Reaction of Cerianthus to Two Sources of Light
نویسنده
چکیده
1. In case Cerianthus is acted upon by two lights of unequal intensities the relation between the angle turned and the ratio between the intensities of the two lights is mathematically expressed by the equation log(10) See PDF for Equation tan a, in which See PDF for Equation is the ratio of the two lights, a is the angle turned from the neutral position, and K = 0.615. 2. According to published data from experiments on other animals, the relation between the angle turned and the ratio between the intensities of the two lights may be expressed by the same equation.

1. Cerianthus shows stereotropism and if fed regularly will remain indefinitely in glass tubes. The animal retains turgor only so long as the entire surface of the body is in contact with the glass. 2. Cerianthus is positively geotropic as regards the foot and body. It will work upward into a glass tube suspended at an angle of 35 degrees as a result of stereotropism, but if the tube is raised ...
متن کاملThe Reactions of Cerianthus to Light
1. When Cerianthus membranaceus is illuminated upon one side, the animal turns its anterior portion toward the source of light. The number of degrees through which the animal turns is proportional to the logarithm of the intensity of the light. 2. A light intensity of between 250 m.c. and 15,000 m.c. is necessary to cause retraction of the animal. 3. The part of the spectrum which is most effec...
متن کاملThe Reactions of Cerianthus to Light by Mary
I t has long been known that direct sunlight (1) will cause Cerianthus membranaceus to withdraw its tentacles and body within the sheath which in nature lies beneath the sandy bottom of the sea. On the other hand, a relatively weak light causes prompt heliotropic turning toward the source of light. Since light increases the muscle tone of these animals it is apparent that light as strong as sun...

Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the influenceof different light curing systems and curing times on the micro-hardness of aresin modified glass ionomer. Methods: Forty two samples of ResinModified Glass Ionomer (RMGI) were prepared using stainless steel cylindrical mold(8 × 2 mm) and randomly divided into six groups of seven. Three groups werecured with a Quartz Tungsten Halo...
متن کاملThe anti-biofilm effects of sponge (Callyspongia sp.) and two sea anemones (Zoanthus sansibaricus and Cerianthus lloydii) collected from the Persian Gulf
Background: Sponges and sea anemones do not have specialized defense organs. Instead, they rival harmful microorganisms by producing certain compounds. These compounds can also be useful against some human pathogens. This study aimed to investigate the antimicrobial effects of bioactive products from these marine animals. Methods: Two species of sea anemone <e...
