Euplote - is flattened dorsoventrally and has a different ciliature on the two surfaces. Ventral surface- highly specialized ciliature for crawling. Dorsal surface- convex and ridged. directs food to a buccal cavity. (Euplotes, 2005)
Lecane rotifer - minute, bilaterally symmetrical, unsegmented. The tail looking part is called the corona, used for food gathering and movement. The head part has a set of jaws called trophi. This one is actually dead. (Wallace, 2005)
Paramecium - ciliated protozoa, bacteria eater. Has uniform cilia over the cell surface. Eats algae by a oral apparatus that is shaped like a funnel. (Aufderheide, 2005)
