Write a summary of the phrase below. This experiment focused on testing the impact of environmental challenges and conditions on slime mold growth, problem solving skills, and how the organism adapt to the changes. Finding of this experiment shows that s
The experiment investigated how environmental challenges affect slime mold growth, problem-solving abilities, and adaptation. The findings indicate that slime mold thrives when food is available, creating optimized pathways to food sources while retreating from unproductive routes. In a maze test, the slime mold successfully built a network towards food and avoided impediments, demonstrating its ability to recognize food presence and navigate around barriers like sugar. The study aligns with previous research by Rosina and Grube (2025), which confirmed that slime molds use chemotaxis to reach food while circumventing harmful conditions. The results reveal that slime molds display memory and decision-making skills, avoiding toxic substances such as salt and vinegar. In the absence of viable food sources, the slime mold becomes dormant, reflecting its capacity to prioritize energy expenditure and growth based on environmental conditions. Overall, slime molds exhibit intelligent behavior in responding to environmental cues and threats.
