Topic: Please Rate My Paramecium | |
---|---|
I found this paramecium while I was looking for a tau neutrino that fell
behind the dresser. And I think it's the most beautiful paramecium ever! What do you think? I will post a picture of the tau neutrino if I ever find it, but I'm afraid that scary brown spider may have eaten it. |

What good eyes you must have in order to find such a creature!

You would think so, but actually it's 3 feet long.

I may sound silly but what the hell is a Paramecium ?? lol I am freakin
out thinking one of them is behind my dresser now lol. What are they and what do they do?? and what the heck is a tau neutrino?? And if they attract big scary brown spiders i am done. I am out of here so fast it will make your head spin lol. Spiders UGhhhhhhhhhh. |

I think I saw the tau neutrino under your chair. I could be wrong as my
eyes have been pretty bad since I broke my glasses. But I am pretty sure that is where I saw it. |

Hmmm, maybe that is why you failed to find the neutrino!
|

Am i the only one who doesnt know what a Paramecium and neutrino is?
lol.. If so that is kinda embarassing LOL |
|
|

IM STILL SEARCHIN FOR "NEMO" FOR GODS SAKE LMAO

Autumn from the Wikipedia:
Paramecium The Paramecium is a group of unicellular ciliate protozoa, formerly known as slipper animalcules from their slipper shape. They are commonly studied as a representative of the ciliate group. Paramecia range from about 50 to 350 μm in length, depending on species. Simple cilia cover the body which allow the cell to move with a synchronous motion. There is also a deep oral groove containing inconspicuous compound oral cilia (as found in other peniculids) that is used to draw food inside. They generally feed upon bacteria and other small cells. Osmoregulation is carried out by a pair of contractile vacuoles, which actively expel water absorbed by osmosis from their surroundings. Paramecia are widespread in freshwater environments, and are especially common in scums. Paramecia are attracted by acidic conditions. Certain single-celled eukaryotes, such as Paramecium, are examples for exceptions to the universitality of the genetic code (translation systems where a few codons differ from the standard ones). |

Coooll, ah, yeah, cool. No spiders okay?
|

lol seahawk!!
I want to know where I can find a 3 foot paramecium! |
|
|
|
well I had to take a closer look to really get a good perspective ,,,
excellent cell lining ,,,,,,,, |

Neutrino
Neutrinos are elementary particles denoted by the symbol ν. Travelling close to the speed of light, lacking electric charge and able to pass through ordinary matter almost undisturbed, they are extremely difficult to detect. Neutrinos were once thought to have no mass, but they are now known to have a mass; it is simply too small to be determined by currently available measuring methods. Neutrinos are created as a result of certain types of radioactive decay or nuclear reactions such as those in the sun, in nuclear reactors, or when cosmic rays hit molecules. There are three types, or "flavors", of neutrinos: electron neutrinos, muon neutrinos and tau neutrinos; each type also has an antimatter partner, in this case antineutrinos. Electron neutrinos or antineutrinos are generated whenever neutrons change into protons or vice versa, the two forms of beta decay. Most neutrinos which pass through the Earth emanate from the sun and more than 50 trillion solar electron neutrinos pass through the human body every second. |

Wiki is good for stuff like this:

Certain single-celled eukaryotes, such as Paramecium, are examples for exceptions to the universitality of the genetic code (translation systems where a few codons differ from the standard ones). tau neutrino: A probably stable elementary particle in the lepton family having a mass less than 60 times that of the electron and no charge. Hope that clears it up! |

Thanks Whisper thats really neat, still kinda freaks me out lol

what do neutrino 'z and parameciums have to do with the price of eggs
in Denmark ?? |
|
|
|
Thanks LexFonteyne Now i know what they are
|
|
|
|
Purple you can not even begin to negotiate the price of eggs in Denmark
without knowing this information! |

Looks as though there are some visible mitochondria.
