The disadvantages of euglena are mostly related to its structure and the fact that there is a debate that never ends on whether it is a plant or animal. The lack of routine genetic analysis is the main disadvantage.
Interesting fact about the Euglena...
The interior of the euglena contains cytoplasm (a jelly-like substance).
Another intrestin fact......
Towards the end of the euglena is a star-shaped structure called the contractile vacuole. The contractile vacuole helps the euglena remove excess water, without it the euglena could hold to much water due to osmosis that the euglena would explode.
They are part of the protists kingdom which are eukaryote Euglena are unicellular organisms. They are plant like and are autotrophs. They mostly live in freshwater.
an euglena is an protistn it is classed as algae and there are 800 to 1000 species of Euglena.
The problem with Euglena is in the classification. It is not clear whether it is a plant or an animal. Botanist classify it as algae while zoologists refer to it as photosynthetic protozoa.
This is a euglena, a type of protist. I have never heard of a euglena oval but under a microscope, euglena have an oval shape within them.
euglena does indeed have chrlorplasts.
Euglena is a genus. So Euglena has (or includes) species. Remember the order? Domain, Kingdom, ...... genus, species.
Euglena is an algae.Chloroplasts are present in them.

Euglena is actually the genus name as well as the common name for this organism. Finding the exact species is difficult, because the genus Euglena has dozens of species in it.See the Related Links for more information about the genus Euglena as well as a list of the species in this genus.
Euglena have flagella that provides them with locomotion.

Euglena reproudces asexually not sexually
the euglena is a producer mostly because its green.
Euglena are green because of their chloroplasts.
