Protists can be either autotrophic (algae) or heterotrophic (amoeba).
See the link below:
Euglena is a protist that can exhibit both autotrophic and heterotrophic characteristics. It has chloroplasts like autotrophic organisms for photosynthesis, but can also feed on organic matter for energy like heterotrophs.
euglenoids
Euglena is a protist that is capable of both autotrophic and heterotrophic nutrition. It can photosynthesize like a plant in the presence of light but can also feed on organic matter when light is not available.
Euglena is a protist that has structures characteristic of both autotrophs and heterotrophs. It contains chloroplasts for photosynthesis like autotrophs, but can also absorb nutrients from its environment like heterotrophs. This allows Euglena to switch between being autotrophic and heterotrophic depending on its environmental conditions.
Euglena's are both heterotrophic and autotrophic because they can make their own food with photosynthese and also absorb food from their environment.
there both.
they are both
They are both depending on what species it is...
heterotrophs
The Venus flytrap is both heterotrophic and autotrophic.
They can be either heterotrophic or autotrophic. they are grouped into three categorys. Animal-like, Plant-like, and fungus-like.I got info from here:http://www.lanesville.k12.in.us/lcsyellowpages/Tickit/Carl/protists.htmlit has way more info on that site.
Carteria is autotrophic, meaning it can photosynthesize and produce its own food using light energy.
