| Dancing Zombie Squid Explained |
Perhaps you see in this video online is the squid alive, dead for some sort of zombie, commentator said this was evil, torture, cruel, disgusting and hey even awesome to explain exactly what's happening to the squid we call a chemistry professor Charles Gresham "Most of the tissue in an organism that's recently dead recently killed is actually still life and so cell metabolites are nearly intact and membrane voltages and potentials that exist in nerve cells and probably still close to intact and so even in this case even though the brain function is missing the tissues will still respond to stimuli.
Muscles rely on a chemical called ATP which lingers in recently dead organisms before rigor mortis kicks in, the adenosine triphosphate or ATP sort of the bodies energy currency it, it's kinda the money that the cell spent on energy and then you come to the soy sauce and the soy sauce is fun, it has a lot of sodium chloride and the sauce probably get absorb by the suckers there are little chemical receptors up all kinds that respond to different things squid this is looking for and so probably sucker sensors pick up sodium chloride and that immediately goes in changes the voltages across a membrane had probably triggers a contraction of the muscle.
