During this experiment, we gave Tetrahymena India ink to calculate how much food vacuoles they formed when given different amounts of time to phagocytize. Under a microscope with the objective at 40x we counted and recorded the number of vacuoles formed. To analyze we looked at the time versus the number of vacuoles formed. After analyzation, it became apparent that the longer amount of time the Tetrahymena have in the ink before they're fixed the more food vacuoles that they will form. This information tells us that the Tetrahymena phagocytize consistently and the more time they are given the more food vacuoles that they will form.
