what are the two parts of the life cycle of a slime mold?

Answer 1

After the spore germinates, single cells will aggregate into a motile phase. This is called either a plasmodium or pseudoplasmodium depending upon the species. The motile phase moves like an amoeba or slug.

When a suitable location is found (in terms of light and moisture) the motile phase becomes stationary and develops fruiting bodies either sexually or asexually (again species dependent). The fruiting bodies release spores to continue a new cycle.

Answer 2

K's right. Lots of people aren't sure what they are but most agree they aren't animals. The slime mold life cycle alternates between a unicellular feeding stage and a multicellular reproductive stage. Sporangium and plasmodium are two stages of a complex life cycle.
