Protists and Fungi

Get introduced to protists and fungi with the Amoeba Sisters! This video explores basic cell type, mode of feeding, habitat examples, and ecology of both protists and fungi. This video also mentions a few examples of how protists and fungi can be useful- and harmful- to humans.

*Note: “Phytoplankton” is a fairly general term. It can *include many species of organisms, including diatoms, which are typically considered a type of protist although debate about protists (as we mention, a group where many organisms tend to be placed when they don’t completely in other categories) continues to occur. Classification can change as scientists continue to learn more about evolutionary relationships. Source about diatoms as protists: cnx.org/contents/GFy_h8cu@11....

An important clarification: the more convos we have in our scicomm creating adventure, the more we have learned how science terms may vary in their usage. The word *amoeba* could be used very specifically, when referring to the genus Amoeba, which is what we have drawn at 2:20. BUT, *amoeba* may also be used to refer to organisms that have "amoeboid movement/shape" and could then include the fascinating slime molds---or even the dangerous amoeba type mentioned at 4:07---and many other organisms. We actually did a poll on the way amoeba can be used differently here: twitter.com/AmoebaSisters/status/1106282061248323585

GREAT drawings, Petunia! I loved the slug attacking the mushroom cap and the Bob Ross bit. I am surprised you didn't mention the parasite that takes over the rat's brain and makes it lose its fear of cats or the creepy fruiting body on the ant head. That stuff is creeeeeeepy! :) But fun video! Are you going to the immune system at some point? I think I'm crushing it (I hope) but for next year it'd be spiffy to have that video. ;-)

[@alishaanrood2588]

I'm so thankful for all these videos😝
