Euglena is not considered a plant cell. Euglena is unicellular while a plant cell is multicellular. Euglena is a unicellular organism with plant or animal like characteristic and called protist.
Euglena is both heterotrophic and autotrophic
which means they produce energy and consumption of Glucose. Euglena requires light in order to photosynthesize, however they do not require
light in order to reproduce energy though consumption
of Glucose.
Plant cells have the same basic structures as animal cells, as well as
these 2 additional structures:
Cell wall-provides support for the cell. It surrounds the cell membrane
and gives it strength and form. This allows plants to be rigid even
though they do not have a skeleton like most animals do.
Chloroplasts-the "power plants" of the cell. They make food using sunlight,
chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and water. This is a major factor in
determining if a living thing is a plant or an animal.
Plant cells generally have a square or rectangular shape as shown below.
The cell wall helps the plant cell hold its shape, which in turn helps the
entire plant hold its shape.
Because it has a tail like element (a flagellum) that allows it to move on its own - a characteristic of a protist in the animal kingdom, but also contains chloroplasts, which allow it to turn sunlight into chemical energy - a characteristic of a protist in the plant kingdom. Therefore, a euglena can move towards sunlight in order to get its energy.
A eugena is a once-celled organism that displays animal characteristics by moving about and eating.
The eugena displays plant characteristics by using photosynthesis to make its own food, as well eating.
The original classification of organisms had 2 kingdoms: Plant and animals. But when eugenii were discovered, the scientists had to add a 3rd kingdom for it . . . Protista, or protists, meaning one-celled organisms.
There are about 800 different species of eugenia.
Euglena has certain chloroplasts and stores food as starch.
A euglena is different from a plant and animal cell in that it is neither an animal nor a plant. It has totally different features from animals and plants and is considered to be a protozoan.
an euglena cell has a whip shape structure to catch food but a plant cell doesn't
Euglena can not be considered a plant cell because it has animal and plant characteristics.
what are some similarities between euglena and plant cells
It is neither a plant nor animal actually. It is really in the protista kingdom because it is a protozoa.Domain: EukaryotaKingdom: Protista(unranked): ExcavataPhylum: EuglenophytaClass: EuglenoideaOrder: EuglenalesFamily: EuglenaceaeGenus: EuglenaYour mama
yup
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

It gives energy to cell. It is all similar
The answer is a euglena has parts that allow it to move and catch food as an animal does. It also has chloroplasts, so it can make its own food, as a plant does.
yup
The plant and animal cell are similar because the cell gives it it's structure.

I think the answer could be both spirogyre and euglena move by using flagella
We know that euglina makes its food by photosynthesis method like plant which is the only one character similar to plant.Everybody know that plant cell has cell wall but Euglina's cell has no cell wall,its cell structure is totally like as an animal cell & It also create movement like animal.So it is taken as an animal.
The Euglena is a protozoa with both plant and animal characteristics. It can both photosynthesize and eat other cells to get sustenance.
