Week #4 Observations

This week I found new interseting organisms in my MicroAquarium...
The first new protozoa that I found was called a Lecane. Its appearance resembles that of a crab and it uses a flagella for movement.
The next new protozoa that I found in my MicroAquarium was an Amoeba. All of the organisms organelles and cytoplasm are enclosed in a cell membrane. An Amoeba obtains its food through phagocytosis.
