Facts (generated by robot; please edit if you find it inaccurate)
- The calculations demonstrate that a sensory mechanism is important and sometimes essential for microflagellate survival in environments where prey are scarce.
- The krill were also able to induce a mass molting due to external stimuli, though this sensory mechanism is not described (Hamner, et al.
- Outside the tapping hours of process water the partial current is interrupted and the sensory mechanism is provided with a calibrating liquid by the valve unit for calibration and control.
- This analysis demonstrates that, though the amount of incident energy necessary for a minimal response varies with the adapting intensity, the actual amount of photochemical decomposition required to set off the sensory mechanism is a constant quantity.
- That is to say, it is imposed externally and no special sensory mechanism is needed to enforce it.
