What's the frequency of a plant cell?
« on: 19/04/2018 16:14:50 »
David asks:

How do you measure the frequency of a single cell, say a healthy plant cell?


Can you help?

Where have you seen the idea that plant cells have a frequency?
I’m not aware of one.

I was unaware of this, so Thanks for asking this Question David. 👍

" Although the explicit mechanisms through which sound emissions are created and detected in plants are not known, there are theories which shed light on possible mechanisms. Mechanical vibrations caused by charged cell membranes and walls is a leading hypothesis for acoustic emission generation. Myosins and other mechanochemical enzymes which use chemical energy in the form of ATP to produce mechanical vibrations in cells may also contribute to sound wave generation in plant cells. These mechanisms may lead to overall nanomechanical oscillations of cytoskeletal components, which can generate both low and high frequency vibrations. "

Maybe an Acoustics Engineer mite see this question n answer clearly on acoustical instruments n procedures on how its measured. ✌
