| 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. | |
