Slime molds are very similar to the fungi, and they were thought to be fungi for a long time. However, they are not evolutionarily related to fungi. Thus, they are called fungus-like protists.
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 the 3 types of funguslike protists?
Slime molds,water molds,and downy mildews
Are slime molds a ciliate?
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.
What kind of protist is the mildew that commonly grows damnp areas?
slime mold
How do protist get nutrition?
a. protozoa - Consumers b. slime molds - Saprophytic c. algae - Photosynthetic d. water molds - Parasitic
What is the three cell types of protist?
The three main types of protist Cells are The Algae, The Protozoa and The Fungi; the fourth type is The Slime Molds.
How do slime molds differ other protists?
Slime molds are unique among protists because they display characteristics of both fungi and animals. Unlike typical protists, slime molds can exist as single cells or form multicellular structures, resembling a fungus during certain stages of their life cycle. Additionally, slime molds exhibit complex behaviors such as forming intricate patterns and making group decisions, which are uncommon in other protists.
What characteristic would you use to place a protist with a cell wall in to either the plantlike or funguslike protists?
You would place a protist with a cell wall in the plantlike group, as most plantlike protists, such as algae, have cell walls made of cellulose. Funguslike protists, such as slime molds, do not typically have cell walls composed of cellulose.
What are funguslike protists that sometimes creep together to form a multicellular mass?
These protists share many characteristivd with Fungi. However, because of their differences from Fungi they are classified as protists. Funguslike protists play a valuable role in the ecosystem. They break down dead plant and animal matter, making the nutrients from these dead orgainsms available for living organisms. While some slime molds and water molds are benefical, many others can be very harmful. Many fuguslike protsts attack and consume living plants.
What is the class of slime mold?
Slime molds are fungus-like protists. They have a feeding and a reproducing stage in life. See link below for more information.
What are protist that act like fungi?
Slime molds are protists that act like fungi. They are multicellular organisms that feed on decaying organic matter and are commonly found on forest floors. Unlike true fungi, slime molds can move and have a distinct life cycle involving both a unicellular and multicellular stage.
The jelly-like net of cytoplasm found in slime molds is called?
The jelly-like net of cytoplasm found in slime molds is called a plasmodium.
