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.

-As the video mentions, *most* amoeba species are *harmless* to humans. However, we mention that there is a species that can be lethal to humans. Further reading about this rare infection: [ Ссылка ]

**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: [ Ссылка ]
