Well, I hadn't uploaded anything in a long time, and I made this for my Biology class so I figured, "Hey, why not post this on youtube?" XD So, for the few who actually find and watch this, here it is XD
Protists are eucaryotic organisms with both plant and animal characteristics (contain chlorophyl and have movements). Example of protists are amoeba, paramecium, and volvox.
A compilation (by me) of footage of Protists to Michael Nyman's 'The Other Side'

The microscopic life in an italian lake (Lago di Candia).
Algae and Protozoa are a vital part of the aquatic ecosystem, providing food and shelter for other organisms. As a major part of the world's biodiversity, they contain a vast array of different biochemistries, morphologies and life cycles. What is more, they are often spectacularly beautiful under the microscope.
