Squirrells whose blood does not freeze

[tiptoe]

yep that's what I put.  I believe the answer went something like was the experimental the squirrel blood representative of a hibernating squirrel.

[V]

assumption:


was that chemical (that supposedly allowed it to not freeze) was present in the sample.
100% on that one.

i'm so sorry.  you're right.  I  think i picked that one!!1    thank GOD!

[Question]

how does that work though?

speaker 1 was saying they must have some chemical

speaker 2 was saying "no" because of his tube test... no such chemical


i thought his conclusion that squirrels possessed no such chemical was fine, assuming the results would be the same in the rodent

[momofthree]

definitely chemical might not present in the test tube

[metropolitans]

yeah, squirrel had an assumption question...one of them I picked as having squirrel blood in test tubd or soething to that effetc

Aspen 15, I put the same answer you did, or we correct? oh, to the squirrel question

[biotechgirl]

Question: Many animals including the .. squirrel have over 70% water in their blood.  When these squirrels hibernate in temperatures below the freezing level of water their blood does not freeze. ..

Second person: In a test tube blood of the squirrel and similar animals freezes at the freezing temperature of water.
