MadSci Network: General Biology |
There's a lot of organisms sensitive to light and sound... I'm trying to picture the work, imagining some sort of container with the organism moving towrds something everytime there's a light? Like a long chamber? Well, Planaria, and all flatworms, are pretty cool looking and sensitive to light. Most protists are sensitive to light, but they are really small, you'd need a microscope. You can see flatworms with your eyes. If you wanted to use a larger organism, it would probably be more attracted to the dark, you could have continuous light except when foot traffic walked by. Cockroachs hate light, so that might work. I'm not sure what to say, because all animals will move either towards or away from light in some fashion. I'd say flatworms like Planaria are your best bet, from what I can imagine.
