How do slime molds differ other protists?
Slime molds are fungus-like protists. They have a feeding and a reproducing stage in life. See link below for more information.
What are 3 types of decomposing molds?
Molds are considered to be microbes and do not form a specific taxonomic or phylogenetic grouping, but can be found in the divisions Zygomycota and Ascomycota. There are Fungi known as molds. Slime molds and water molds are not Fungi.There are Fungi known as molds. Slime molds and water molds are not Fungi.
The fruiting bodies in cellular slime molds and sporangia in a cellular slime molds?
Produce spores
Are slime molds multicellular or unicellular?
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 is the role of the slime molds in the environment?
They are not important
Is slime mold a ciliate?
Slime mold is not a ciliate. Although slime molds enter a amoeboid stage, they are not equipped with cilia.
What are protist that don't resemble plants animals or fungi called?
Slime molds do not resemble plants, animals, or fungi.
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.

Is it true that the haploid stage dominates the cellular slime mold life cycle whereas the diploid stage dominates the acellular slime mold life cycle?
Yes, that is correct. In cellular slime molds, the haploid stage, also known as the amoeboid stage, dominates the life cycle. These amoeboid cells undergo aggregation to form a multicellular structure called a slug. On the other hand, in acellular slime molds, the diploid stage, or the plasmodial stage, dominates the life cycle. The plasmodium is a large, multinucleate mass of cytoplasm that can give rise to fruiting bodies for spore production.
Slime molds can be classified as acellular or?
Slime molds are all cellular. The unique fact is that they may or may not be multinucleated.
The fruiting bodies in cellular slime molds and sporangia in a cellular slime molds?
Produce spores
Is slime mold an autotroph?
Slime molds are considered to be heterotrophs. Slime molds obtain their energy by consuming soil, decaying wood, and other decaying materials.
Are slime mold autotrophic or heterotrophic?
heterotrophs
Do slime molds live in animals?
no
How are slime molds harmful to humans?
They are not.
