| Englisch | Englisch Studies the structure and function of microtubules highlighting the distinction between muscle movement and movement apparent in microtubules. Shows flagellar and ciliary movement in protozoa and higher organisms, e.g. chlamydomonas, paramoecia, euglena, mytilus. Experiments with methylene blue are shown as evidence of ATP synthesis and action. Electron micrographs and models are used to demonstrate the structure of microtubules. Experiments on individual flagellae are shown with ATP being applied to certain portions of flagellae; the results are shown in slow motion. Axopodia are shown in heliozoans with illustration of their operation and function. |
