Questions and Answers

What is a key characteristic of Myxogastria (glasmodial or acellular slime moulds)?

  • They move independently and grow through phagocytosis (correct)
  • They have a well-developed brain for complex decision-making
  • They rely on a nervous system for information transfer
  • They lack the ability to adapt to different environmental conditions

    • How do slime moulds like Myxogastria adapt to diverse environmental conditions without a brain or nervous system?

  • By using cellular cytoskeleton for information transfer and movement (correct)
  • By solely relying on external cues for survival
  • By possessing a complex nervous system
  • By undergoing rapid cell division

    • What distinguishes the movement of Myxogastria from other organisms like animals?

  • Myxogastria move independently and grow through phagocytosis (correct)
  • Myxogastria do not secrete digestive enzymes
  • Myxogastria lack the ability to form multicellular organisms
  • Myxogastria possess a highly developed nervous system
