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.
What are protist that don't resemble plants animals or fungi called?
Slime molds do not resemble plants, animals, or fungi.
The slime molds are able to respond to an environment that is drying out?
Slime molds can respond to a drying environment by forming a hardened structure and becoming dormant until conditions improve. This allows them to survive adverse conditions and resume growth when it becomes favorable. Slime molds have evolved this strategy to adapt to varying environmental conditions.
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.
Cellular slime molds can be distinguished from plasmodial slime molds on the basis of what?
Cellular slime molds are distinguished from plasmodial slime molds by the presence of individual, distinct cells that remain separate even during the feeding stage. In contrast, plasmodial slime molds have a multinucleate, single cell mass during feeding.
Is slime molds and water molds are important decomposers?
I Have 0 idea what you're talking about
True slime molds belong to the phylum?
Myxomycota
What are protist that don't resemble plants animals or fungi called?

Are most slime molds found on decaying logs or dead leaves in moist cool shady environments?
Yes, most slime molds are commonly found on decaying logs or dead leaves in moist, cool, shady environments. These conditions provide the necessary moisture and nutrients for slime molds to thrive and reproduce.
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.

Cellular slime molds are distinguished from plasmodial slime molds by the presence of individual, distinct cells that remain separate even during the feeding stage. In contrast, plasmodial slime molds have a multinucleate, single cell mass during feeding.
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.
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
Diatoms slime molds and green algae are what?
Diatoms, slime molds, and green algae are types of protists. Protists are a diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that are not plants, animals, or fungi. They can be found in various habitats, from freshwater to marine environments.
How are slime molds harmful to humans?
They are not.
