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.

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.


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.


Are fungus-like protists unicellular?

In my research throught out the web and text books, there are a few fungus like protists that are unicellular. Thank you!


Is fungi mulitcelluar of unicellular?

Both. There are unicellular fungi, like Saccharomyces cerevisae, the yeast used to fermentate sugars and produce beer, bread and wine. Moreover, there are multicellular fungi, like Agaricus bisporus, the Parisian mushroom, widely spread in food cravings.Unicellular fungi holds all yeasts, molds and some slime molds. Multicellular fungi holds mushrooms, toadstools, earthballs, some molds and some slime molds.


What is heterogeneous grouping of unicellular colonial and multicellular eukaryotes including slime molds brown algae and diatoms?

Heterogeneous grouping refers to a diverse mixture of different types of unicellular colonial and multicellular eukaryotes, such as slime molds, brown algae, and diatoms. These groups share the characteristic of being eukaryotic but differ in their cellular structures, organization, and modes of reproduction.


Are fungus-like protist multicellular?

Some fungus-like protists are multicellular, such as the plasmodial slime molds. These organisms consist of a mass of cytoplasm with many nuclei but no cell walls, leading to a multinucleate structure. Other examples, like water molds, can be unicellular or multicellular depending on the species.


Which characteristic is not seen in both water molds and slime molds?

One characteristic not seen in both water molds and slime molds is the presence of true multicellularity. Water molds (oomycetes) are primarily unicellular or form simple filaments, while slime molds can exhibit complex multicellular structures during their life cycle, such as the plasmodium stage. Additionally, water molds are classified as fungi-like protists that absorb nutrients from their environment, whereas slime molds can exhibit behaviors similar to amoebas, including movement and foraging.
