Feeding stage of which protist is known as plasmodium
Correct answer: A. Myxomycota
- A. Myxomycota
- B. Oomycetes
- C. Amoeba
- D. Apicomplexans
Explanation
The correct answer is Myxomycota. In the life cycle of Myxomycota, the feeding stage is called a plasmodium, which is a large, multinucleate, amoeboid mass that can move and engulf food particles. This is distinct from other protists like Oomycetes, which are filamentous and lack a plasmodium stage, Amoebae, which are single-celled and do not form plasmodia, and Apicomplexans, which have complex life cycles but do not include a plasmodium feeding stage.
