Statement I: | When deprived of sunlight, euglenoids behave like heterotrophs. |
Statement II: | During unfavorable conditions, slime moulds form plasmodium. |
I: | under unfavourable conditions, they form an aggregation called plasmodium which may grow and spread over several feet. |
II: | during suitable conditions, the plasmodium differentiates and forms fruiting bodies bearing spores at their tips. |
1. | They are borne on fruiting bodies formed by plasmodium during favourable conditions. |
2. | They possess true walls. |
3. | They are extremely resistant and survive for many years. |
4. | They are dispersed by air currents. |
1. | Monera | 2. | Chrysophytes |
3. | Fungi | 4. | Slime molds |
The saprophytic protists are:
1. | Slime moulds | 2. | Protozoans |

Naked cytoplasm, multinucleated and saprophytic are the characteristics of
1. | Monera | 2. | Protista |
3. | Fungi | 4. | Slime molds |
Consider the given statements regarding slime moulds:
Statement I: | Under unfavourable conditions they form a plasmodium. |
Statement II: | During favourable conditions, the plasmodium differentiates and forms fruiting bodies bearing spores at their tips. |
Statement III: | The spores bear true walls. |
Statement IV: | The spores are dispersed by water. |
