Euglenas are single-celled protists. They are unique as they can be both autotrophs (make their own food like plants) and heterotrophs (obtain their food from outside sources like animals). Euglenas have a mouth that takes in the food. The food is encapsulated into a vacuole by a process called phagocytosis. Digestive enzymes are sent into the vacuole and when the food is broken down, the nutrients are absorbed into the cell. Undigested waste is eliminated through exocytosis. This is the most rudimentary digestive system among living things.

∙ 15y agoEuglena can produce their own food by photosynthesis, using their chloroplasts. They can also eat tiny animals (like bacteria) or other food particles by surrounding them (phagocytosis). Therefore, euglena are partly autotrophic (producing their own food) and partly heterotrophic. They digest food particles in vacuoles.

What protists have both plant-like and animal-like characteristics?
The protist that have both plant-like and animal-like are Amoeba, Euglena, and Paramecium
Do euglenas have chloroplasts?
to help with photosynthesis
Where do euglenas live?
euglenas are commonly found in fresh water streams and ponds and make excellent speciments for study
Is a euglena a consumer?
Euglenas are herbivores. Euglenas rely on algae as their food source. Many Euglenas appear green when you look at it with a microscope. That is because Euglenas have clear skin, and the insides of an Euglena is green, because they eat green algae.
Tough intricate cell membrane of euglenas?
pellicle
