There's only 1 answer that makes a little sense... Do you know which one?

@thomaster

thomaster (thomaster):

Of course not. I told you in your previous question that myxomycota and acrasomycota were molds. How can a mold (fungi) suddenly turn into a bacteria?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i thought fungi was bateria lol, but im thinking its algae now lol, my bad

@thomaster

thomaster (thomaster):

Fungi is also completely different from algae.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so that leaves us with B then right?

thomaster (thomaster):

yes, but do you also understand why this is the only answer that makes sense? There are many kinds of organisms, like fungi or algae, virusses, protists, bacteria and many more. An amoebe is a protist, BUT, the answer isn't amoeba. It's amoeba-LIKE organism. If you know how an amoeba looks like, it makes a lot of sense. |dw:1376601964909:dw| Slime molds begin their lifes as amoeboid cells. They look a lot like amoeba's
