Some types of eubacteria may contain chlorophyll. This type of bacteria is so diverse that they come in many different forms, as well as different shapes.

Yes, Euglena have photosynthesizing chloroplasts, which contain the pigments chlorophyll a and chlorophyll b.

Chloroplasts are only in eukariyotes.Bacteria have photosynthetic filaments.

What shows you that a eulena is a autotroph?

I assume that you mean Euglena and not eulena. In Euglena there is the presence of Chlorophyll in Chloroplasts (the chloroplasts give it the greenish color). Chloroplasts are basically the way that basically all autotrophs make food. The chloroplasts are filled with chlorophyll which is involved in photosynthesis. Therefore, since chloroplasts are found in autotrophs and Euglena has chloroplasts, it only makes sense that Euglena is an autotroph


In What ways is euglena like all other cells?

yup


Because they contain chlorophyll euglena are capable of making their own food through?

photosynthesis....really, not that hard


What causes this green colour in euglena?

the chlorophyll from photosynthesis! Good Luck!


Euglena mode of nutrition?

Euglena, as a genus of unicellular flagellate protists, have three methods of nutrition. The first is holozic, which is the ingestion of solid food. The second is saprophytic. This is the absorption of foods. The last is holophytic which uses chemical elements for foods.


What do protists have in common with animals?

protists that hunt for their foodProtozoans


Can microorganisms and prokaryotes that have chlorophyll do photosynthesis?

a few do They have photosynthetic filaments. Cynobacteria is a gruop of photosynthetic bacteria


What are some special facts about euglena?

The euglena acts like a plant and an animal making it a unique organism. Euglena are single celled flagellate algae that can be found in the water, mud and sand of ponds and puddles. Although they contain chlorophyll, Euglena cannot survive solely by photosynthesis. Euglena vary in shape from cylindrical to oval, with flagella that are shorter than their bodies. They range in size from 35-45um and may be green or reddish in color.


What is euglena oval?

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.


Why is Euglena is classified as a protoctist and not as an animal or a plant?

It's a plant like protist, it contains chlorophyll and carries out photosynthesis. The eyespots function as a light shield which allows light from a certain direction to strike the light detector. it doesn' have a cell wall because it is "plant-like," not a plant, it has a pellicle that provides strength and flexibility since it lacks a cell wall.in order to be classified as a plant rather than "plant like" it would need to have a cell wall


Is a euglena a good bacteria?

Euglena are not bacteria.


Scientific name for euglena?

The scientific name for euglena is Euglena gracilis. It is a single-celled, photosynthetic protist that can move by either using its flagellum or contracting its cell body.
