How do euglena get there food?
All euglena have chloroplasts and can make their own food by photosynthesis. They are not completely autotrophic though, euglena can also absorb food from their environment; euglena usually live in quiet ponds or puddles.

How does euglena collect energy?
Most species of Euglena have chloroplasts, which allow them to capture the energy in sunlight and form carbohydrates. However, they are also capable of consuming food to receive energy.
Are euglena heterotrophs or autotrophs?
Euglena's are both heterotrophic and autotrophic because they can make their own food with photosynthese and also absorb food from their environment.
How does pollution affect the population growth of euglena?
Pollution affects the growth of euglena by two simple aspects; sunlight and nutrients. The euglena can no longer obtain sunlight through the water if pollution is causing the water to become too polluted for sunlight to break through. Since the euglena can also absorb nutrients through the cell membrane, pollution can contaminate the nutrients that the euglena needs for survival, both ultimately causing the prevention of the euglena from creating or obtaining food.
Does euglena take in food or make food?
Both. Euglena has chloroplasts to make food but it also surrounds and digests food from outside.
What does Chloroplast do in a Euglena?
The chloroplast makes food for the Euglena so it can eat. The Euglena doesn't really need it though, because it can hunt for it's own food.
How does Euglena get food?
photosynthesis
Because they contain chlorophyll euglena are capable of making their own food through?
photosynthesis....really, not that hard
What food do euglena and volvox make?
A volvox makes there own food, so they eat there food that they make. I don't know what a euglena makes, sorry.
