You know, amoebalike protozoa don't always look like amoebas. There are some that have outer shells.
I know, I have heard that radiolarians have shells made of silica that looks like glass and foraminiferans have snail like shells made of calcium carbonate like mine.
Did you know that flagellates are protozoa that use flagella to move. They also live in freshwater, saltwater, or are parasites that cause diseases.
Really? Don't they wave back and forth to move forward?
Yep. Also, the flagellate parasite, Giardia Lamblia, lives in the digestive tracts of humans , other vertebrates, or water. People lke me who go hiking and drink this water can get diarrhea.
Interesting, also some flagellates live in symbiosis with vertebrates or invertebrates. When this occurs, each organism helps eachother survive.
