 Nutrients are shown as tiny green cylinders. Foraminifers move towards nearest nutrients and this way they can accumulate enough energy to reproduce.
 
-After "Enhance visualization" option is enabled reticulopodia are shown as disks and positions of nutrients are indicated by cuboids.  
+When the "Enhance visualization" option is enabled, reticulopodia are shown as large disks and positions of nutrients are indicated by cuboids.
