Protista
Slime molds are not true molds as they belong to a separate group of organisms called the Myxomycetes. They are not plants or fungi, but actually belong to the kingdom Protista. Some species of slime molds can move and exhibit a form of simple intelligence in their foraging behavior.
Fungi.
Myxomycota
No, slime molds are not classified as Monera. They belong to the kingdom Protista, which includes diverse eukaryotic organisms. Monera is an outdated classification that primarily encompasses prokaryotic organisms, such as bacteria and archaea. Slime molds are unique organisms that exhibit characteristics of both fungi and protozoa.
No, protista is not a bacteria. Protista is a kingdom that includes diverse microorganisms like algae, protozoa, and slime molds. Bacteria belong to a separate kingdom called Bacteria.
Amoeba, kelp, and slime molds belong to the diverse kingdom known as Protista. This kingdom encompasses a wide variety of organisms, including single-celled eukaryotes like amoebas, multicellular forms like kelp (a type of brown algae), and various types of slime molds. Protists are characterized by their diverse modes of nutrition, reproduction, and cellular structures, differentiating them from plants, animals, and fungi.
Both slime molds and ciliates belong to the protists group. Ciliates are single-celled and slime molds have a complex life cycle during the course of which they go through unicellular, multicellular, funguslike (form spores) and protozoanlike (amoeboid) stages.
Slime molds belong to the class Myxomycetes, order Liceales, family Physaraceae, genus Physarum, and species Polycephalum.
Slime molds belong to the group of protists known as heterotrophs, which means they obtain their nutrition by ingesting or absorbing organic compounds from their environment. They often feed on decaying organic matter, bacteria, and other microorganisms.
Slime molds do not resemble plants, animals, or fungi.
It used to be part of the kingdom of fungi, but after some years of research, it has been classified as belonging to the kingdom protist and ONLY protist. it isn't a plant a fungi an animal and its usually a large single celled thing so, after researchers discovered this they put it into the kingdom protist. there are aproximally 1070 species of slime mold known to man.
