You find a unicellular organism that forms lobe-like pseudopodia. When you expose the cells to cAMP, they aggregate into a slug like structure. Based on this information, you correctly conclude that this organism is known as:

A) Chlamydomonas .
B) Chaos carolinense .
C) Entamoeba histolytica .
D) Dictyostelium discoideum .
E) Physarum polycephalum .

Pseudopodia

Temporary, amoeba-like projections of the cell surface which assist in the movement and feeding of some eukaryotic cells.

cAMP

Cyclic AMP, a crucial secondary messenger in various biological functions.

Dictyostelium Discoideum

A species of soil-living amoeba famous for its ability to form multicellular structures when food is scarce, often studied for insights into cellular communication and differentiation.
