Connecting the worlds of engineering and regenerative medicine is no small feat and I hope that our last blog, which connected the human brain and the controller of an automation system, opened your eyes and allowed you to make some realistic associations between two distinct processes. With these blogs, we are propelling the industry forward by familiarizing both engineers and scientists with the worlds of a “different” industry.
Answer:
Colonial Organisms
The difference between a multicellular organism and a colonial organism is that the individual organisms that form a colony or biofilm can, if separated, survive on their own, while cells from a multicellular organism (e.g., liver cells) cannot. This enables the colony to swim towards the light.
Explanation:
All based on research.
Photosynthesis is a process that uses the soliare to produce chemical energy (glucose). This means that the algae living in the water require a supply of solar light, and for that it would be necessary that the water is clear so that the solar rays can pass and reach the algae.
In the case where these corals and algae live in a cloudy or muddy water, the sun's rays do not pass very well, and therefore the photosynthesis of these algae is altered.
