Week 2 of term project


Epistylis Astracod



So far not much movement has been made by any organsims except for tiny worm-like organisms moving in a jerk-like motion. Seems as though the organisms I saw las week are hiding or are stationed to one spot while feeding off the the plant. The only movement so far are these tiny organisms called rotafurs, moving around in their habitat like mice. Ive spotted a few atracods who seem to be getting larger than the previous week. When adding food, I saw alot of movement, especially that of a group of epistylis(vorticella). They have these long strings attached to them and they can move any way they please.
