Slime molds are all cellular. The unique fact is that they may or may not be multinucleated.

What structure of an acellular slime mold is simlar to the colony of cellular slime molds?
nipples
What kind of protists can grow to be several feet?
Acellular slime molds
What is the difference between acellular slime molds and cellular slime molds?
both organisms are different but have same common character both leads double life
When the amoebalike cells of acellular slime molds fuse they form structures with many nuclei called?
plasmodia
Acellular slime molds in phylum myxomycota form a slug like mass known as a?
pseudoplasmodium
What is scrambled egg slime mold's classification?
Slime Molds are classified as Protista.
What are protist that don't resemble plants animals or fungi called?
Slime molds do not resemble plants, animals, or fungi.
How do slime molds differ other protists?
Slime molds are fungus-like protists. They have a feeding and a reproducing stage in life. See link below for more information.
How are cellular slime molds different from acellular slime molds?
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.
Single structure slime mold with many nuclei?
acellular slime mold
Is it true that the haploid stage dominates the cellular slime mold life cycle whereas the diploid stage dominates the acellular slime mold life cycle?
Yes, that is correct. In cellular slime molds, the haploid stage, also known as the amoeboid stage, dominates the life cycle. These amoeboid cells undergo aggregation to form a multicellular structure called a slug. On the other hand, in acellular slime molds, the diploid stage, or the plasmodial stage, dominates the life cycle. The plasmodium is a large, multinucleate mass of cytoplasm that can give rise to fruiting bodies for spore production.
Are slime molds multicellular or unicellular?
Two broad groups of slime molds are recognized. The individual cells of cellular slime molds remain distinct-- separated by cell membranes-- during every phase of the mold's life cycle. Slime molds that pass through a stage in which their cells fuse to form large cells with many nuclei are called acellular slime molds.
