Euglena has a stiff, yet still somewhat flexible, pellicle underneath the cell membrane that helps maintain the shape of the cell. The pellicle consists of a protein layer that is organized in strips that spiral around the long axis of the cell and is underlain by a series of microtubules (http://tolweb.org/Euglenida/97461).

Where is the pellicle of a paramecium located?
do paramecium have pellicles
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
What are algae and paramecium and euglenas?
protists
Which group does euglenas go to?
Mammals
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.
Cluster of red pigments on euglenas that helps the organism find sunlight?
The red pigment on euglenas that helps the organism find sunlight is not nice
Euglenas and paramecia are examples of which organisms?
protists
Are Euglenas are multicellular organisms?
Yes because they are protoctists.
Tough intricate cell membrane of euglenas?
pellicle
Why the pellicle is not considered a cell wall in euglenoids?
Cell walls surround plant or fungi cells and are made of cellulose or chitin, respectively. Pellicles surround various protists and are made of different proteinaceous compounds. Pellicles are generally thinner and more flexible than cell walls.
