Why slime and water mold are not included in kingdom fungi when they resemble with fungi?
Slime molds and water molds (the oomycetes) are not in the fungal kingdom because they are separate evolutionary lineages. This is revealed by phylogenetic analyses using both molecular, morphological, and biochemical data.
The kingdom Fungi is united by the presence of chitin in their cell walls, a whiplash flagellum that is oriented on the posterior of the motile cell, the synthesis of lysine using the AAA pathway, plate-like cisternae in the mitochondria, the presence of a Spitzenkorper, and the use of glycogen as a energy storage compound.
Slime molds have a anterior whiplash flagella, and oomycetes (the water molds) have a tinsel and whiplash flagella that are laterally oriented. Both of them use the DAP pathway to synthesize lysine and have tubular cisternae in the mitochondria. Slime molds do not have cell walls (I think), and oomycete cell walls are made of cellulose. Oomycetes use mycolaminarin as an engery sotrage compound.
What else can I help you with?
What are protist that don't resemble plants animals or fungi called?
Slime molds do not resemble plants, animals, or fungi.
What are protists that don't resemble plants or fungi biologically called?
Slime molds do not resemble plants, animals, or fungi.
What kingdome is slime mold in?
The kingdom that slime mold is in is "Fungi'.
Why lower fungi are called slime molds?
slime mould are coming under myxomycetes loking similar in morphology and life style to fungi so called fungus like organism. lower fungi is not included in the Kingdom Fungi. not produce well-organized fruitingbodies and primarily reproduce asexually. name of slime mold is due to production of slime on substrum.
Which kingdom do slime molds belongs to?
Fungi.
Protists that do not resemble plants animals or fungi biologically called?
slime molds
What kingdom does slime mold fall under?
I think the same kingdom as normal fungus.

Slime mold belongs to what kingdom?
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.
Which are the protist that act like fungi?
Protists that act like fungi are primarily classified as slime molds and water molds. Slime molds, such as those in the group Myxomycetes, share characteristics with fungi during their vegetative phase, forming plasmodial structures. Water molds, belonging to the Oomycetes group, resemble fungi in their filamentous structure and reproductive processes but are more closely related to algae. Both types exhibit heterotrophic feeding habits, similar to fungi.
In what way does the slime mold resemble a fungus?
It is not a good description. A slime mold is a protist.
Which of these kingdoms have organisms with plantlike or animallike characteristic?
Kingdom Plantae is probably plantlike. Kingdom Animalia is probably animal-like. That probably didn't answer your question, though. I'm guessing your context was something about fungi or "protist" kingdoms. Mushrooms are actually animal-like because they use chitin, a protein found in insects, rather than cellulose, found in all plants, as a structural protein. They also are heterotrophic (have to eat/suck the life out of stuff). So they are a bit more related to animals like ourselves. In the protist "kingdom", now disbanded, slime molds resemble fungi and animals somewhat, amoebas/ciliates resemble animals, and of course algae(including seaweed!) resemble plants.
