Protists are a diverse collection of organisms. Watch this animated video to find out how these single-celled organisms function.

Part of the "Branches on the Tree of Life" series. The term "protist" covers a wide range of microscopic organisms formerly clumped into "Kingdom Protista." New molecular analyses show that the protistan lines of evolution go so far back in time they can be considered as different kingdoms of life. Through photography of living protists, amoebas, flagellates, algae, and the elegant ciliated protists are introduced in ten learning modules.
Part of a series that features a wide variety of video footage, photographs, diagrams, graphics, and labels. Also concludes with a critical thinking question. For this particular video, students will focus on the diverse group of eukaryotic organisms known as protists. Part of the Science Video Vocab series.
In this episode, Pinky and Petunia discuss protists and fungi. They explore the cell type, mode of feeding, habitat, and ecology of both of these organisms. Part of "The Amoeba Sisters" series.
Presents a brief history of what new information caused the classification of living things to evolve from the original two kingdom classification of animals and plants by Linnaeus in the 18th century to the present-day six kingdoms: Animal, Plant, Fungi, Protista, Eubacteria, and Archaebacteria. Discusses three of the six kingdoms: Protista, Eubacteria, and Archaebacteria. Also, presents the hierarchical classification from kingdom to species. Because viruses do not have the capability of an independent cellular life, they are included in neither the kingdom nor domain classifications.
This video explores the fascinating world of microscopic life. It begins by discussing viruses and explaining how they cause disease. Students also learn the importance of bacterial cells and explore the life of protists. Additional concepts and terminology include microscope, vaccine, moneran, decomposition, amoeba, phytoplankton, yeast, algae, paramecium, and protozoa.
Many microorganisms thrive in the polluted water that is abundant with their food: bacteria and other protists. One of nine segments in a series, with all nine available on a DVD.
Presents a brief history of what new information caused the classification of living things to evolve from the original two kingdom classification of animals and plants by Linnaeus in the 18th century to the present-day six kingdoms: Animal, Plant, Fungi, Protista, Eubacteria, and Archaebacteria. Discusses three of the six kingdoms: Animals, Plants, and Fungi.
A taxonomist explains the current classification system for all living things. Beginning with Aristotle's two kingdom division, today there are five kingdoms, with talk of changing to six. Uses the product groupings in a grocery store to clarify the concept. Looks at the differences of each kingdom: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia. Stresses that the more we learn, the more likely this system will change yet again.
Climb aboard the Cyclops, a microscopic research vessel, and investigate an amazing hidden world on which all living things depend. The Cyclops houses a team of scientists known as the Micronauts and guides them through their discoveries of biological classification, diversity, and ecology. In this episode, the crew continues to observe a variety of bacteria. They discover that bacteria is the food of choice for large single celled protists in the pond. Their observations lead them to make conclusions about the food chain found in the pond. Part 6 of the Microscopic Monsters Series.
Part of the "Life in Aquatic Environments" series. Places many of the organisms into an ecological perspective of hydras, planarians, annelids, aquatic insects, rotifers, protists, and all other organisms that provide food for fish and other vertebrates. Observes adaptations for planktonic life in daphnia and other cladocerans, copepods, rotifers, and planktonic algae. Explores bacterial decomposition, recycling of materials, adaptations for bottom life, and ecological relationships in the bottom community. Takes an underwater look at the highly specialized organisms that live in rapids, under rock communities, and in slower waters. Investigates adaptations for life in temporary wetland environments.
