Because Blepharisma can be functional in both saltwater and freshwater environments, I was interested in the organism’s environmental response to these two different conditions and observe any changes on the cell when it is immersed in a NaCl environment or a neutral H2O environment. My goal was to discover whether or not Blepharisma was able to function equally in both conditions and look for any differences in cell structure and cell movement.
I first conducted an observational experiment with Blepharisma by simply observing the cells in 1 ml neutral sample of water at a 10x & 40x objective visual. As seen in Figure 1 and 2, the organisms moved quickly across the screen and have no change in color or structure. When we decided to add 0.5
