And so what we did is we have two oysters that are stuck together, and this area used to be completely filled in with the cement, and what we're finding is that the cement has lots of different components in there, but broadly speaking, there are hard, non-sticky parts and there are soft, sticky parts, and what we did is we removed the non-sticky parts selectively to see what's left for what's actually attaching the animals, and what we got is this, and we can see there's this sticky adhesive that's holding them together.
Así que tomamos dos ostras que estaban pegadas --esta parte estaba completamente rellenada con el pegamento-- y descubrimos que ese pegamento tiene muchos componentes pero, en general, hay partes duras, no pegajosas y hay partes blandas y pegajosas. Entonces quitamos selectivamente las partes no pegajosas para ver lo que quedaba, qué era lo que realmente unía a los animales y obtuvimos esto, que es el adhesivo pegajoso que las mantiene juntas.
