• When food or moisture becomes limited, the slime mold

develops spore-producing structures, called sporangia.

Spores are produced through meiosis and dispersed by

wind.

• Water molds were considered fungi because of their

method of obtaining nutrients. Water molds envelop their

food source with a mass of threads. Then they break

down the tissue and absorb the nutrients through their

cell walls.

• All sporozoans are parasitic. They infect organisms by

living as internal parasites.

• Fungi

Rhizoids are a type of hyphae found in molds of the phylum

Zygomycota. Flagellated spores are characteristic of the

phylum Chytridiomycota. Fruiting bodies are the sexually

reproducing structure of the phylum Basidiomycota.
