Document Summary
Two major ways a source of energy and a source of. It is used to enable the cell to orientate itself with light so it can harvest lots of it. It will swim towards the light source to maximize photosynthesis. Chlamydomonas are very popular in labs and can grow in all different conditions from warm to the. Almost all eukaryotic cells are much larger than a bacterium. Chlamy has a thousand times larger volume than e. coli. Complexity can be defined as genome size, though this is inaccurate in many cases as similar organisms have drastically different genome sizes. It is not so much about genome size but. Chlamy also runs away from light when there is too much light. Too much light the cells damage when they harvest too much because it produces reactive oxygen that kills the cell. The eyespot and the eye appear to be homologies. The shorter the wave length (gamma rays) the higher the intensity.
