Cellular Streaming: Benefit or Complication?

As we study the cellular diversity of organisms, the Fungi Kingdom introduces levels of complexity not seen in Protista nor Eubacteria Kingdoms. Incomplete cells walls are one trait that set Fungi apart from others, and those septum enable cellular streaming of organelles. While technically/officially in Kingdom Protistae, slime molds also exhibit cellular streaming, especially the plasmodial slime molds. In what ways may cellular streaming benefit an organism and in what ways may streaming complicate an organism and prevent it from evolving?

Remember to respond to two other students' responses as part of blogging.

The below link provides a brief introduction to slime molds:
