HYPOTHESIS

  • The eel's cells rub up against
  • each other and create friction.

RESEARCH

  • Have a highly complicated nervous system
  • They have an electric organ in their bodies
  • When the nucleus gives the command
  • The nerves make sure the cells all activate
  • At once.

MORE RESEARCH

  • When the signal is given a path is
  • created connecting the inside and outside
  • of the cell. Then it acts as if it was a battery
  • each side holding a different type of charge.
  • When a cell is sparked it can start another cell.

FACTS

  • Each cell holds a few less than
  • 100 millivolts on the outside.
  • If the eel lived on land, it would turn
  • into a 500 volt- battery.
  • This all happens in about two milliseconds

CONCLUSION

I WAS WRONG ABOUT THE CELLS CREATING FRICTION

  • The electric current us to weak
  • to harm them.
