Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Plasmodial slime molds have one large multinucleate cell without cell walls (a syncytium), while cellular slime molds have individual cells that come together to form a multicellular organism. Both types of slime molds ingest food by endocytosis. However, the number of nuclei within each cell membrane is different between the two types.
