Elodea Cytoplasmic Streaming

[thunderdrumandbass]

tell me why this happens though. The research that I have done has told me that motor proteins acting on actin-myosin interactions are the cause of the movement but is this true?

[manganime1893]

my teacher told that you need to put a drop of water in the alodea to see the chloroplast, why is that? why water allows you to see chloroplast?

[CJ4m]

does god photosynthesise?

[ShanTheWeird]

What magnification is this at?

[firedude22222]

why does the chloroplasts move?

[hinatik]

@firedude22222 because the cytoplasm is moving :9

[Alexandra93x]

Is the Green Chlorophyll?

[hadiah00]

MasyaA llah! :)

[bioteacher611]

Yes, Sir Paul McCartney!  (With a mistake like that I should be forever banned from posting comments.)

[bioteacher611]

The music is reminiscent of Blackbird by Paul McCarthy.

[UntoldFate]

@bioteacher611 i think you mean paul mccartney :p

[bioteacher611]

The music is reminiscent of Blackbird by Paul McCarthy ... many artists have created similar songs on guitar.

[ramunalem]

can these guys move in reverse?

[brokenxheartbeatx]

theyre so cute^^ we did this in bio yesterday. fascinating.

[Cari19771]

What are the darker structures which appear as lines? At about 15 seconds, I can clearly see the chloroplasts moving near what I assume are the cell walls. If those are the cell walls, what are the darker bars?

[NISHIWODEAI]

my teacher told me to add salt water into the Elodea and im questioning why are they no loner moving? can you tell me? please

[princess52316]

@NISHIWODEAI probably something to do with dehydration.

[brexcharice]

is it clockwise or counter clockwise in motion?

[xJapFrapx]

do you know of any methods to measure the rate at which the cyclosis occurs?

[Shorty20122012]

nice video. just showing my gratitude for this. thanks =]

[bucketsofcheeserock]

So if you are trying to evaporate some of the water off of the wet mount slide, would you put the cover slip on??? Would you leave it off???

[wxfix]

You can leave the cover slip right on there. Because the edges of the cover slip aren't air tight, the water will evaporate for you. 15 minutes or so should be enough. Good luck. You'll do great.

[hsain1]

hey dude, will you be kind and tell me where you got the music for this vid from? sounds awesome!

[wxfix]

I'm not sure. It's one of the songs that was on the youtube audio swap page. This video originally had no audio, so I just picked and poked till I found something that fit in their collection.

[hottdog2007]

what kind of microscope is this and what staining did you use? or, is it a phase contrast one. Please send me a message to my profile thanks! im in the market for a scope

[dmglover69]

@hottdog2007 no staining as the cell is live

[TeMpleOfHaTe]

sorry for the stupid question but are these green things which doesnt move inside the cell the chloroplasts?

[wxfix]

Yes all the little green "things" are indeed Chloroplasts. Even the ones that weren't moving.

[TeMpleOfHaTe]

thank u... and what about the vacuoles?!

[bullavamosazulez]

No puede haber nguna wea mas fome que esto..

[KiraraHonya]

Hermoso! Mil gracias!

[MiaModena]

Very cool! We did this lab at school, but our Elodea was dead -___-... so it wasn't moving

thanx for the upload

[TonyElFather1]

you guys know how big these cells are??

[wxfix]

Off hand, I don't know their size, but I shot the video using a 40x objective and a 10x ocular.

[smpl90s]

@TonyElFather1 Eukaryotic plant cells generally are 20x30 micrometers. This of course varies, but that's what I remember from my bio class. The cloroplast are of course small, probably 10um.

[petgraveyard]

Pretty awesome video...educational and relaxing/beautiful at the same time!

[gluepot66]

and thats why branches of trees of the same species NEVER touch each other. No matter how close together they grow, and if you doubt me, look up in a monoculteral woodland. Gymnosperms planted for timber are the exception, comparable to battery farmed chickens their poor DNA blah blah blah blah waffle waffle waffle sausages

[Sectorsophia]

parts of the song sound exactly like the solo in Kansas' Dust in the Wind. Cool vid.

[whoaitsaflyingllama]

I thought it was Blackbird by the Beatles at first :P

[LowSky85]

smae thing as the other kid i just did this lab but we couldn't see the elodea so now i can answer the questions thanks!

[rozi2089]

does the streaming only go counter clockwise? or can it go clockwise or any random direction??

[wxfix]

I honestly don't know, however there is a really nice video called "cyclosis" that depcits both directions quite beautifully. Direction would seem to come from wherever the gradient is.

[alsepang]

Thank you for this video! It really helped me understand and finish my lab.

[lublyannaline]

wow that is a fantastically done video. I never managed to see it during the lab at school, now I can answer all the questions!

[buildmeupbuttrcup]

i just did this labb! very cool...☺

[mattydavidallen]

omg uber noob

[bioramm]

really I'm very satisfied. thank u

[mobitz57]

nice music, nice video. thanks!

[jsmead]

Nice view...... good description in the info section as well!
