Jr. Scientist discovers a never-before-classified protist. It contains multinucleated filaments, similar to fungal hyphae however, upon closer examination the cell walls are found to be composed of cellulose rather than chitin. They do not perform photosynthesis but instead acquire nutrients by way of parasitism or decomposition. Jr. Scientist has likely discovered a rhizarian O a foraminiferan O an oomycete a mycetozoan

Expert Solution
Step 1

Hi, Thanks For Your Question. 

Ans : An Oomycete

Oomycete Also Known As Slime Moulds Have Multinucleated Filamentous Hyphae Similar To Fungus But Their Cell Wall Is Made Up Of Cellulose Rather Than Chitin.

Thier Mode Of Nutrition Is Through Decomposition Not By Photosynthesis, They Secrete Enzyme Which Help In Degradation Of Polymers such as protein, lipids And cellulose.
