Q

Phylum myxogastrida (plasmodial slime molds)

A

Heterotrophic ,feeding stage amoebid mass, (plasmodium), plasmodium a single coenocytic(multinucleate) cell may be brightly colored

16
Q

Phylum Dictyostelida

A

Heterotrophic, the cells feeding individually ; cells when massed into a plasmodium retain their individuality usually exist as myxamoebas, when conditions aren’t favorable they for, an irregular network called pseudoplasmodium

17
Q

Phylum Actinopodia

A

Amoeba with numerous expodia (food gathering devices) some with glassy silica skeletons

18
Q

Phylum Forminefera

A

Amoebas with porous, calcium carbonate tests, pseudopodia long, branched, anastomoses
