Using Cilia
they are usually found in freshwater or pond water
Euglena, amoeba, and paramecium occupy different ecological niches in aquatic environments. Euglena are photosynthetic protists that thrive in nutrient-rich waters, utilizing sunlight for energy while also feeding on organic matter. Amoebas are versatile, often found in soil and water, where they feed on bacteria and detritus through phagocytosis. Paramecium, ciliated protozoans, inhabit freshwater environments and primarily feed on bacteria and small particles by using their cilia to create water currents for feeding.
Heterotrophs have adapted a wide range of feeding habits for example:ParasitismDetretivorismHerbivorismCarnivorismOmnivorismSymbiosisSaprobiosis
Paramecium are free-living organisms found in various aquatic environments such as ponds, lakes, and slow-moving streams. They prefer habitats with plenty of organic matter for food, along with proper water salinity and pH levels. These single-celled organisms thrive in freshwater environments with an abundance of bacteria and algae for them to consume.
Amoebas and paramecia primarily inhabit freshwater environments, such as ponds and streams. They thrive in the moist soil of these habitats, where they can find organic matter to feed on. While they are not typically found in seawater or blood, some amoeba species can be present in marine environments.

They filter feed on bacteria, protozoans, unicellular algae, and bits of organic matter.
Camel Crickets feed on organic matter

Decomposers consume detritus, dead organic matter. Parasites dwell in (organic) hosts and feed off of them.

No, gnats do not feed on blood as part of their diet. They typically feed on plant sap, decaying matter, or other organic materials.
Decomposers feed on dead organic matter such as fallen leaves, dead animals, and decaying plant material. They break down this organic material into simpler compounds, returning nutrients back into the ecosystem for other living organisms to use.
Euglena is a protozoa that can either absorb nutrients like a heterotroph or perform photosynthesis like an autotroph. It has chlorophyll that enables it to produce its own food using sunlight, but it can also ingest organic matter if necessary.
Organisms that break down and feed on waste and dead organic matter are called decomposers. Examples include bacteria, fungi, insects, and earthworms. These organisms play a vital role in recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem.
