Planarian regeneration
I am an AP student assigned to perform a research project. I was hoping I could get input on what would happen if I soaked a planarian food source in a sugar solution, water, and sugar alcohols and whether or not that will effect planarian regeneration.

Re: Planarian regeneration
Hello gdigdigan,
Maybe some of the other experts on this forum can suggest how your manipulation of food source will affect regeneration.
Here is a link that might help you design your experiment to evaluate the regeneration for each of your experimental conditions (sugar, water, sugar alcohols). I hope you will also have a control condition!

Re: Planarian regeneration
Here's a link to a ScienceBuddies project using planaria. This might also help you develop your experimental procedures.
