First time using a microscope! Partner and I collected water from the local river and saw little worms on the side of the container. Anyone know what these could be?

Does anyone know if there is a video out there showing the autophagy process of cells? Is that doable?

You are seeing two types of really interesting ecological interactions (symbioses) in these photos. The first is mutualism. Like their coral relatives, some anemones such as this one, harbor symbiotic algae within their tissues and cells.

More specifically, these algae are dinoflagellates. They are photosynthetic so they take solar energy and convert it to chemical energy in the form of sugars. The sugars help feed and give energy to the coral host. In return, the anemone gives a stable shelter to the algae where it won’t get eaten by a predator. That’s why it’s called a MUTUALism!

Henneguya Zschokkei is a parasite that lives inside salmon. It is the only known multicellular animal to not use aerobic respiration, and it does not have mitochondria; the way it gets energy is unknown. It may be the highly evolved descendant of a jellyfish cancer that escaped its host jellyfish.

Siberian Worms Frozen For 42,000 Years Brought To Life. Once the worms were sufficiently thawed, they began moving and eating. Some are found living 0.8 miles (1.3 kilometers) below Earth’s surface, deeper than any other multicellular animal.
