The most obvious difference between an amoeba and a paramecium or euglena is that the amoeba has no overall shape, and the entire cell changes its shape as the amoeba moves. The paramecium and the euglena both have definite shapes which they do not alter. The amoeba can engulf food particles at any point on its own cell membrane, but the paramedium has an oral groove which is where it ingests food particles. And the euglena also has a chloroplast, unlike the other two (or any other protozoan).

How do unicellular move?

Unicellular organisms move in a variety of ways. Paramecia have cilia, which are tiny hairs that act like oars and propel the organism along. Bacteria move by rotating a flagellum that looks a bit like oars and propel the organism These organisms "swim" along. An amoeba moves by changing shape and forcing its cytoplasm into extensions called pseudopods. - s delacruz

Is euglena protozoa or algae?

Euglena is a unique organism that exhibits characteristics of both protozoa and algae, making it a protist. It possesses chloroplasts and can perform photosynthesis like algae, but it also has the ability to move and feed heterotrophically, similar to protozoa. This duality allows euglena to adapt to various environments and obtain energy in multiple ways.
