What pigment do most plant-like protists contain that allows them to photosynthesize?
Chlorphyll!
What are the 3 types of funguslike protists?
Slime molds,water molds,and downy mildews
What are the characteristics of the funguslike protists?
They all are heterotrophs, have cell walls, and use spores to reproduce.
What are funguslike protists that creep together to form a multicellular mass?
Group name Myxomycota , eg. Physarum .
The funguslike protists that thrive on dead or decaying organic matter in water are?
Water molds (oomycetes) are the funguslike protists that thrive on dead or decaying organic matter in water. They obtain nutrients through absorption and play an important role in the decomposition of organic material in aquatic environments.
How do funguslike protists differ from true fungi?
Fungi are separated from the protists based on their plate-like cristae in the mitochondria, the possession of a single, posterior, whiplash flagellum (in some forms), synthesis of lysine by the AAA pathway, the use of glycogen as a storage compound, and the presence of the Spitzenkorper in actively growing hyphae.
What characteristic would you use to place a protist with a cell wall in to either the plantlike or funguslike protists?
You would place a protist with a cell wall in the plantlike group, as most plantlike protists, such as algae, have cell walls made of cellulose. Funguslike protists, such as slime molds, do not typically have cell walls composed of cellulose.
How do funguslike protists move?
They move with flagella, cilia, or pseudopods.
What are funguslike protists that sometimes creep together to form a multicellular mass?
These protists share many characteristivd with Fungi. However, because of their differences from Fungi they are classified as protists. Funguslike protists play a valuable role in the ecosystem. They break down dead plant and animal matter, making the nutrients from these dead orgainsms available for living organisms. While some slime molds and water molds are benefical, many others can be very harmful. Many fuguslike protsts attack and consume living plants.
