In the most recent viewing of the water parasites, i viewed many things that I would never have imagined seeing. The first thing i saw was a "Tachhysoma", this organism was a free living meaning it would swim and move all over. It moved it a very odd way by gliding and then jerking, this was the only organism I viewed that jerked while moving. Another very interesting organism I witnessed was a "Desmid. The Desmid was a "Closterium" this organism was a elongated strand that was in two pieces stuck together at the center. This organism also swam freely but not a fast and quick as the "Tachysoma." The most interesting organism I viewed had the Phylum of Ciliphora the class of Spirotrichia an d the genus of Halteria. The organism had a round brownish body composed of many cells. The organism moved in a very strange way, it moved in a circular motion. It would just spin around very fast as it was moving. These three organism I witnessed were all so different in many different ways such as swimming, and body arrangements. These organisms were very fun and interesting objects.
