what is the difference between pseudoplasmodium and plasmodium in slime moulds

plasmodium is a parasite that infects humans and causes malaria.

pseudoplasmodium is a slime mold that lives in soil and eats bacteria in soil.

The difference is that plasmodium is the acellular version of a slime mold, represented by a large ameoba-like structure. This is aquatic and moves slowly. When challenged it forms a verticle fruiting body resistant to drought. On the other hand pseudoplasmodium is the cellular version of a slime mold, represented by individual cells. When challenged these cells signal each other via cyclic AMP and clump together, forming one large mass. Together this mass is called a pseudoplasmodium ("pseudo" meaning false).

Hope this helps!!:)
