Answer 2

Euglenoids are unicellular organisms that have a flagellum for movement. They can also photosynthesize like plants, using chlorophyll to capture energy from sunlight. Additionally, some euglenoids can ingest food particles like animals through a process called phagocytosis.

Answer 3

The euglenoids, commonly found in freshwater rich in organic materials, with a few marine and endosymbiotic members. Many euglenids have Chloroplastand produce energy through Photosynthesisis, but others feed by Phagocytosisor strictly by diffusion. They belong to the phylum Euglenophyta, and their cell structure is typical of that group.

Euglenids are believed to descend from an ancestor that took up Green_algaealgae by secondary endosymbiosis.
