Amoebozoa and Slime Molds
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
Amoebozoa is defined by pseudopodia extending as tubes or flat lobes from the cell surface, a criterion including single-celled amoebae and slime molds.
Show
A plasmodial slime mold moves as one multinucleate mass, then forms spore-producing fruiting bodies resembling fungi under stress.
Watch for
A slime mold's fungus-like fruiting body is convergent evolution — slime molds classify with amoebae, not with true fungi.
