Tóm tắt

In this study, we have determined the power of the cilium on the foot sole of a medium-sized pond snail, Lymnaea stagnalis, gliding upward in anaerobic water. As has been shown, the foot sole houses approximately 1.3 · 109 cilia, displaying a total power of 1.47 · 10−6 W, the power of one cilium being 1.1 · 10−15 W and of a single ciliary beat being 1.1 · 10−16 W.
