Euglenas are single celled protists, not plants. However, they can perform photosynthesis (the process of making their own food from air, light, and water). Oddly enough, euglenas can also eat food, like single-celled animals.

∙ 14y agoEuglena is a genus of unicellular protist.They can be classified under both plants and animals.They contain chloroplasts.They show heterotrophic mode of nutrition.They can be called as animal like protist.

∙ 12y agoIt'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.

∙ 11y agoYes, it is tubelike, unicellular, lives in fresh water, moves by means of a flagellum, and is by definition a protist or protocist. It is also fascinating because it can draw energy directly from its environment, OR make its own by photosynthesis. It also possesses a proto-eye... Interesting creature.

∙ 15y agoEuglena has both plant and animal properties. It uses photosynthesis like a plant, but it can also move freely like an animal.
Wiki User
∙ 13y agoAnimal-like. It is single-celled, eukaryotic, mobile, and can't fit well into other kingdoms.

What plant like protist has an eye spot to help them detect light?
A euglena.
Euglena protist with what?
Euglena- protist with flagella these protists move pulling themselves with long whiplike structure called flagella
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
How do you know that Euglena is not an animal cell?
The euglena is found in the protist kindom
Does euglena use photosynthesis?
yes Euglena is a protist. It has photosynthetic pigments
Is euglena a protist?
Yes it is a protist cos its plant-like and can only survive in water

What is a eugleana?
euglena acts like a plant and an animal, its a one cell organism, and it moves witha flagella, it makes its own food and its a protist

How do you know that Euglena is not an animal cell?
The euglena is found in the protist kindom
Does euglena use photosynthesis?
yes Euglena is a protist. It has photosynthetic pigments
Is euglena a fungi?
It's only dangerous if you are small enough to be eaten by them...i.e. another single celled animal.
What is an example of a protist with an eyespot?
Euglena
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
What are the 3 protists?
Animal like Protist, Fungus like Protist, and Plant like Protist
