Untitled Slide

• This is were I grew the Pilobolus
• I used an LED task lamp
• As you can see some of the holes in the cups are bigger to see which would grow faster
• Which would produce the most spores

BETTER PICTURE OF THE CUPS

THE BLACK DOTS NEAR THE HOLE IS WHERE THE MATURE SPORANGIUM SHOT ITS SPORES OUT NEAR THE LIGHT

THIS IS WHERE THE SPORES SHOT UP AGAINST THE TAPE WHERE THE LIGHT WAS SHINING THROUGH

HERE ARE FOUR DIFFERENT CUPS TO SHOW YOU THE DIFFERENT HOLE SIZES

• Some of the holes are bigger than the other holes, which means more light shines through
• When mor light shines through the fungus grow faster and the the bigger the hole the faster the fungus grows

BIBLE VERSE

• Colossians 3:23
• Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than men
