Why is it difficult to classify cellular slime molds as unicellular or multicellular?

They technically are unicellular, because each cell performs the basic functions for life. They might be looked upon as multicellular, because they are always found in visible groups, and they seem to be working together as if they were unified as one organism.

Why are lichens hard to classify?
Because each lichen has a symbiotic association of an alga with a fungus, hence it is difficult to classify them. Depending on their gross morpholoy we can classify these as crustose, foliose and fruticose only.
What are the five main groups scientists use to classify living organisms?
Monera- Single celled bacteria Protista- Unicellular Organisms Fungi- non photosynthetic plantae- green plants animalia- all complex uni and multicellular animals
Is the primary characteristic used to classify the types of animal-like protists?
Sexual reproduction is the primary characteristic used to classify the types of animal-like protists. However, determining if the protist is multi-cellular is also another primary characteristic.?æ

Objective of unicellular and multicellular organism?
to classify unicellular and multicellular organisms.
A possible way to classify organisms would be to separate them into unicellular and multicellular organisms?
Yes but quite incomplete, it does not cover enough material.
Are tapeworms unicellular or multicellular?
The flatworm is one portion of the phylum Platyhelminthes. "Platy" meaning flat, and "helminthes" translating to worm. All species belonging to the Platyhelminthes phylum have two cell layers because their bodies consist of an outer skin and also an incomplete gastrovascular system. Therefore, all flatworms are multicellular.

How would you classify a multicellular organism that has cell walls but no chlorphyll?
A multicellular organism with cell walls but no chlorophyll would be classified as a fungi. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that obtain nutrients through absorption, and their cell walls are made of chitin or other substances. They do not perform photosynthesis as they lack chlorophyll.
What two characteristics do you look at to classify bacteria?
They are unicellular organisms with no defined nucleas.
Another possible way to classify organisms would be separte them into unicellular and multicellular organisms explain why this would not be a useful classification system?
Separating organisms into unicellular and multicellular categories might not be useful because some unicellular organisms may be more closely related to multicellular organisms than to other unicellular ones. Additionally, this classification overlooks important differences within each group, such as varying levels of complexity or ancestral relationships. Therefore, grouping solely based on cell number could oversimplify the diversity and evolutionary history of organisms.
Is a virus multicellular?
A virus is a no-cellular organism. Some may argue the point of viruses being living or dead, but all concede that cells and viruses share little in structure. Cells are membrane bound. If a virus has a membrane it took it fro a cell it erupted from. Cell grow and reproduce on their own, plus they metabolize on their own. Viruses need a " parasitic " relationship with cells to do any of these things.
Why is it difficult to classify hybirds?
Hybrids are a mix of two different species. It is difficult to classify hybrids because they do not fit into either specific species.
What kingdown do most plants and animals belong to when difficult to classify?
lichens, corals, viruses, corals, viruses and carnivourous plants are difficult to classify :)
