What kind of special snake leaves a slime trail?
NO snakes leave a 'slime trail' ! Only molluscs such as slugs and snails leave a slime trail !
Molds filled with sediments sometimes produce?
Molds and casts may be produced when sediments fill molds left by decayed organisms.
What are molds and casts preserved by?
Molds and casts are preserved by a solidifying. Wet plaster or other materials dry or cure until solid and hardened.
Animals with slime?
Some animals that produce slime include slugs, snails, hagfish, and certain species of frogs and salamanders. The slime serves different purposes such as protection from predators, aiding in movement, or helping with hunting.
How do pretzel slime mold move?
Slime molds are plant like heterotrophs, which means that they are unable to move
What are Protists that move with cytoplasmic extensions are called?
plasmodial slime molds.
Can move like amoebas and reproduce like fungi?
Organisms that can move like amoebas and reproduce like fungi include slime molds. Slime molds are single-celled organisms that can join together to form multicellular structures when reproducing. They move by extending their cytoplasmic projections, known as pseudopodia, similar to how amoebas move.
Which is NOT true of the slime molds?
Slime molds are not true molds as they belong to a separate group of organisms called the Myxomycetes. They are not plants or fungi, but actually belong to the kingdom Protista. Some species of slime molds can move and exhibit a form of simple intelligence in their foraging behavior.
What moves like amoebas and reproduce like fungi?
Slime molds move like amoebas through a process called cytoplasmic streaming, and they reproduce like fungi through the formation of spores. Slime molds are unique organisms that exhibit characteristics of both amoebas and fungi.
What are protist that don't resemble plants animals or fungi called?
Slime molds do not resemble plants, animals, or fungi.
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.
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
Why are slime molds considered unusual?
Slime molds are considered unusual because they exhibit characteristics of both animals and fungi. They can move, engulf their food like an animal, and also reproduce like fungi. Slime molds also have complex life cycles and unique mechanisms for navigating their surroundings.
