How are cellular slime molds different from acellular slime molds?
Wiki User
∙ 13y ago
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.

∙ 13y agoThe term for non-cellular slime mold is a plasmodium slime mold.
Usually, cellular slime molds live as singular slime unless a chemical is used to unite them into one organism.
Plasmodiums are connected to each other from the start, forming a giant cell.

What kind of protists can grow to be several feet?
Acellular slime molds
The fruiting bodies in cellular slime molds and sporangia in a cellular slime molds?
Produce spores
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
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.
Slime molds can be classified as acellular or?
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 is the difference between acellular slime molds and cellular slime molds?
both organisms are different but have same common character both leads double life

Produce spores
How do cellular slime molds get there energy?
Heterotrophic
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
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.
Is slime mold considered unicellular or multicellular?
Slime molds are multinucleated cellular organisms .
Are slime molds multicellular or unicellular?

Cellular slime molds can be distinguished from plasmodial slime molds on the basis of what?
Slime molds eat dead plants and animals. Such as the dead bark off of a log or tree.
