Microscopy Bio Lab - Draft Part 2

This is demonstrated in Table 1 when the number of dyed food vacuoles within each cell increased as the time periods got larger. This was also proven in Graph 1 because the curve of the average number of dyed food vacuoles within each cell increases as the time advances. This reveals that the feeding rate of the tetrahymena increases as time progresses. After collecting all of the data, the average number of dyed food vacuoles per cell within each time period was able to be calculated by finding the mean. In addition, the standard deviation was able to be calculated for each time interval. This determines how far away the data was from the mean. Most of the standard deviations were relatively low numbers, showing that the data was accurate.
