Notes:
A double-flash microphotographic technique has been used to follow the variation with temperature of the following kinetic parameters related to the contraction and reextension of the ciliate Stentor coeruleus, namely the rate of contraction, the initiation time before contraction, the rate of reextension and the initiation time before reextension, all described by first order kinetics. Activation enthalpies, entropies and free energies related to the above mentioned parameters were calculated from the variation of the rate constants with temperature. The enthalpies and entropies appear to be of minor interest compared to the free energies. For the contraction and the initiation of contraction the ΔG
