protists
The outer covering of euglenas is called a pellicle. It is a flexible layer made up of protein strips called pelliculin. The pellicle helps euglenas maintain their shape and structure while allowing them to move and change shape.
Examples of organisms belonging to the protista kingdom include algae, protozoa, and slime molds. Algae are photosynthetic organisms found in aquatic environments, protozoa are single-celled organisms that can be parasitic or free-living, and slime molds are fungus-like organisms that can move and behave like animals at some stages in their life cycle.
there are also paramecium and amoeba and protizonenes
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.
A paramecium is not autotrophic. A paramecium is heterotrophic. The paramecium are single-celled organisms that are found in marine environments and stagnant ponds.
Euglena is a protist that exhibits both plant-like and animal-like characteristics. It can perform photosynthesis like a plant in the presence of light, but also actively hunts for prey using its flagellum.
Plants and algae cells have chloroplasts, photosynthesis is conducted in chloroplasts. Paramecium do not photosynthesize they get their food from the water they live in. So they do not need chloroplasts.
bacteria, algae...seem to recall them eating paramecium...
what do you mean
Amoeba feeds on small microorganisms like bacteria, algae, and other tiny protozoans by engulfing them through phagocytosis. Paramecium feeds on bacteria, algae, and other small organisms by sweeping them into its oral groove using cilia, forming a food vacuole that digests the food.
Paramecium bursaria primarily feeds on algae, which it ingests through a structure called the cytostome. They can also engage in mutualistic relationships with the algae by harboring them within its cells and benefiting from their photosynthetic activity.
No,bacteria are not protists.Examples for protists are Algae,Amoeba,Paramecium etc.
