The movement of a slime mold is much like that of an amoeba, but on a larger scale.

Slime molds water molds and downy mildew's are examples of what Protists?
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
What is similar between an amoeba and volvox?
Both live in wet or moist environments, also, have membranes structures, nucleus, and other internal. P.S If your smart enough, you would put this answer and cheat. Trust me, it's right. I'm to smart to be wrong
How to my slime?

What other planet moves the same way as a orbit?
earth mercury and venus Comment: The question is incomplete and can't be answered sensibly.
Where does a clock run slower at the front end or back end of an accelerating spaceship?
It will be the same either way, because the spaceship moves as a single unit.

What is the role of slime molds in the environment?
We benefit from studying them. It has been shown that slime molds respond to certain chemicals in the same way humans do. As well, they are very useful in studying how cells communicate. The most interesting way we benfit is their application to engineering. Slime molds build efficient networks between food sources. If one lays out oatmeal flakes so that it resembles the layout of cities across the landscape, the slime molds will construct the most efficient pathways between the flakes. This can then be used to build the most efficient transportation routes between the cities. (This was done by engineers in Japan.)
Why does a snail leave a slimy trail?
yes. Slugs leave slime and so does a special type of snake.

Can slime mold move?
Slime Molds are what's called a plasmodium, meaning they're basically a sac of fluids with many separate nuclei. The move by committee, meaning each nuclei "chooses" which way to ooze the plasmodium itself, sometimes spliting up.

In what way does the slime mold resemble a fungus?
It is not a good description. A slime mold is a protist.
How does a ambulance move?
the same way any other vehicle moves...
How do lizard move?
The same way you (or your dog) moves.
How does the motion of chicken wing compare to how your elbow moves?
it moves in the same way but they can probably do more things with it like fly
Does rin kagamine know all of len kagamine moves?
Are you applying in a sexual way or a dancing way? Since they are Mirror Images, I'm pretty sure they have the same moves.
What does it mean to slime on someone?
to slime on someone is another way of saying to ejaculate or release your spermon someone's face and/or body
