Abstract
Insect tissue has great plasticity which enables it to maintain its activity in very abnormal media. Nevertheless, information concerning the exact tolerance of insect tissue to various hydrogen-ion concentrations of saline solution is needed. Such information may establish the development of a more suitable insect physiological solution than is in use today. Therefore, the purpose of this investigation is to determine the tolerance of the larval heart of the mealworm, Tenebrio molitor L., to varying conditions of hydrogen-ion concentration, using a perfusion solution for this insect that was developed by the author (Butz 1957).
