has a wide range of available habitat's it can live in cold and warm tempatures and it grows on dead or unliving things like bread in your house for example that's dead yeast.
in damp soil or rotting material
Slime molds and water moldsThe fungus -like protists resemble the fungi during some part of their life cycle. These organisms exhibit properties of both fungi and protists. The slime molds and the water molds are members of this group. They all obtain energy by decomposing organic materials, and as a result, are important for recycling nutrients. They can be brightly colored and live in cool, moist, dark habitats. The slime molds are classified as either plasmodial or cellular by their modes of reproduction. The plasmodial slime molds belong to the phylum Myxomycota, and the cellular slime molds belong to the phylum Acrasiomycota.The plasmodial slime molds form a structure called a plasmodium, a mass of cytoplasm that contains many nuclei but has no cell walls or membranes to separate individual cells. The plasmodium is the feeding stage of the slime mold. It moves much like an amoeba, slowly sneaking along decaying organic material. It moves at a rate of 1 in (2.5 cm) per hour, engulfing microorganisms. The reproductive structure of plasmodial slime molds occurs when the plasmodium forms a stalked structure during unfavorable conditions. This structure produces spores that can be released and travel large distances. The spores land and produce a zygote that grows into a new plasmodium.The cellular slime molds exist as individual cells during the feeding stage. These cells can move like an amoeba as well, engulfing food along the way. The feeding cells reproduce asexually through cell division. When conditions become unfavorable, the cells come together to form a large mass of cells resembling a plasmodium. This mass of cells can move as one organism and looks much like a garden slug. The mass eventually develops into a stalked structure capable of sexual reproduction.The water molds and downy mildews belong to the phylum Oomycota. They grow on the surface of dead organisms or plants, decomposing the organic material and absorbing nutrients. Most live in water or in moist areas. Water molds grow as a mass of fuzzy white threads on dead material. The difference between these organisms and true fungi is the water molds form flagellated reproductive cells during their life cycles.Read more: Protista - Slime Molds And Water Molds http://science.jrank.org/pages/5547/Protista-Slime-molds-water-molds.html#ixzz0d6EfuAiF
mushrooms live off of plants molds and mildew live of warmth and some other molds live off of rotting food what fungus causes plants to wilt and yet they don't die
A cellular organism produces ATP (either infecting another organism or not), has ribosomes being able to originate daughter cells, therefore having species. An acellular organism doesn't match this criteria. Examples are virus and prions.
Millipedes live in decaying leaves and plants.
Saprophytes are fungi and live of dead and decaying matter, not live plant material
Physarum, commonly known as slime molds, are typically found in moist, decaying organic matter, such as leaf litter, soil, and rotting wood. They thrive in dark, humid environments, where they can feed on bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. These organisms are often seen in forests and other ecosystems rich in organic material.
Slime Live was created in 1984.
Robber flies live in soil or various decaying organic plants. They will refuse to live anywhere else and will eventually die if they cannot find the soil or plants.
will release chemical signals to attract other slime molds to aggregate and form a multicellular structure capable of producing spore-bearing structures for reproduction. This collective behavior helps the slime mold improve its chances of survival and reproduction during times of food scarcity.
