FrankenShrimp

This live experimentation table examined the role of water in life and death. Dehydrated shrimp eggs were rehydrated and observed under a microscope. Under specific conditions they restarted their life processes. The exhibit pondered the question, what happens to organisms in a dehydrated state? Are they living slowly, are they dying slowly, or is it something entirely different?
