Internalization of Consumed T i O 2 Nanoparticles by a Model Invertebrate Organism

Figure 5

Percentage of animals in each group with different degrees of destabilization of cell membranes. This was assessed visually and classified from 0 to 9 according to the scale defined above in Materials and Methods. Digestive gland cell membrane stability value ≤2 represent animals that had no destabilized cell membrane and digestive gland cell membrane stability values >2 for animals with destabilized cell membrane. Statistical differences between exposed and control animals (within one exposure duration) are marked with an asterisk (* 𝑃 < 0 . 0 5 ).
