Nomadic Moving Microscopic Leaf Cell

From OurFoodChain

Evolved from L. cytosol some of their genetics mutated developed a flagellum-like structure which gradually created a flagellum which helps them able to swim more effectively in the waters on zone 25. They became larger to have more surface area to absorb light. With the a new flagellum to produce during reproduction it cost them to reproduce slower and create only 1 identical copy due to the extra energy used to produced a flagellum.

Found in zone 25 they grow to be 100 micrometers in length and reproduces asexually by performing mitosis every 1 hour and creating 1 identical copy of itself. They can be found less abundant then L. cytosol in the surface of the water column. They use their flagellum to move across the water able to move away from shaded areas(such as areas shaded by Kelpflotensa species) so it is able to absorb sunlight. After 10 minutes of o sunlight it will use its flagellas to swim somewhere else to get sunlight. However after 1 hour of a period of no sunlight they will became to slow down its system and stop moving its flagellum in order to save energy, when they are able to absorb sunlight again it would reanimate and become normal again.

It absorbs minerals like nitrates from their cell membrane so they can absorb it for growth through simple diffusion.
