2. For the C. elegans normal and alcohol resistant worms, at what alcohol concentration do the worms start to show some effect?

3. At what concentration do the worms appear intoxicated (less control over movement)?

4. Is there a difference in the movement between the normal and alcohol resistance worms?

Solution

according to research, the wildtype/normal C.elegans shows effects of alcohol at internal concentrations of 70-90mM.

The worms appear intoxicated at conectration os 70-90mM.

Both normal and alcohol resistant worms showed acute sensitivity to acholol with not much difference in the internal concentration.
