How Do Protozoa Get Around?

HALF LIFE REFERENCE????????!

Faster than my prius :-(

If we look up we are seeing the whole universe... but if we look down, damn it may be even bigger or at least the same

God is so awesome , this is so amazing!

530 in the morning me: "Thanks for likin' what we do."

"Thanks for likin' what we do."

🧐

😂 Great pun.

Your arms ... are getting warmer ... and warmer ... and heavy

Your legs ... too ... are getting warmer ... and warmer ... and heavy

The chubby tardigrades ... in your eyes ... kindly ask you ... to close them ...

but how do they control their bodies if they don’t have brains someone plz explain

This channel inspired me to buy a microscope and take local lichen samples and I’ve had so much fun hunting moss piglets while listening to mr. Greens dulcet tones that I’m changing my major to biochem

You mean protist. Protozoa had a name change to protist.

I came here because of parasites and you didn’t even show them 😢

"They are each a little soup that wants" this makes me unreasonably happy

I can't clearly understand this, why does the viscosity increase with decrease in size?

how do you get such a clear images

Juuuuust found this channel. Aaaaaaand I'm buying a microscope.

I didn't know it was possible for Hank to sound so soothing

prokariotic flaggelum is like a fan, like the coil on a vorticella while the flaggela on a eukariotic cell is more like a dolphin tail

When I was a kid I used to peer into a microscope for hours watching protozoans move about and carefully identifying each type. Where I lived flagellates, rotifers and certain ciliates were abundant, but amoeboids and paramecium rare. So finding these were my holy grail. I still remember the day I finally found an amoeba decades ago. I must have spent most of the day watching this amoeba slowly flowing about surrounding its food to digest. The microscopic world of protozoans was and still is fascinating to me.

Curious, if a single celled animal apparently moves without a central nervous system executing "decisions," then the decision to turn left or right or up or down is strictly biomechanical- that is the molecular bonds form and break based upon this organsim telling itself in a biomechanical way to, "Go this direction (to eat or brood)." It is a complex nervous-system-like decision-making process happening without the use of a nervous system like using a punchcard machine rather than a digital computer.

In the closing seconds of this footage I loved the use of the word 'wanting' to describe these tiny packages of chemicals going about their survival processes.

Why the rather awful intrusive music?

The sound is freaking bad and destroy the good video!!!!

Is the pond / body of water a system in-of-itself? Is a pond a living organism containing all these organs?

Are humans organs?

They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them. For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. Yes, they knew God, but they wouldn’t worship him as God or even give him thanks. And they began to think up foolish ideas of what God was like. As a result, their minds became dark and confused. Claiming to be wise, they instead became utter fools. And instead of worshiping the glorious, ever-living God, they worshiped idols made to look like mere people and birds and animals and reptiles.
Roman 1:19-23

Truly astonishing to see these minescule beings wanting..to see desire born and sought after at these levels. And we are largely oblivious to all of it!

Step one: smash them between glass and shine the light of heaven's tunnel on them. You will then get all the answers to their natural ways.

i wished to see a trypanosoma moving 😢

Great! Thank you. 🙂

Dramatic pause makes it look like amateur non serious work.
Video is lacking- What exactly is cillia, flagela etc is not shown alongside the relevant picture.

I love when the little bugger paws and seems to look at and communicate with us.

I wish this culture could remember the previous one. Only one culture ago we all knew the reasonableness that told us there was a God that made everything. That idea make a LOT more sense than Evolution when you look at the complexity of the simplest forms of life.

I like this.

I, too, am just a little soup that wants.

Such s beautiful meditative collection. Very peaceful.

I want to hang out with Coleps!

What you said about sporozoa has to be the stupidest thing I have heard any one say about a reason to not show something.

I cannot imagine how wonderful this gem would look in 4K!

Watching your videos is more like a therapy❤

❤

What makes those cillium move though? In a muscle, we have nerve cells that send a signal from our brain. What is the machinery, the muscle equivalent, and how does a cell particularly a prokariote know how to move uniformly?

This is mind boggling to me. Amazing channel you have, and its a shame I just now found it.

I need sporozoa move

what about diatom "gliding" motion. Is that not a type of motion. If not, which of the 3 types you describe is it included in?

Come on why not mention bacterial fully rotary propeller/corkscrews
