Euglenophyta
Experts disagree on the classification of euglenas primarily due to their unique characteristics that blur the lines between traditional taxonomic categories. Euglenas possess features of both plants and animals, such as the ability to photosynthesize like plants while also exhibiting motility and heterotrophy similar to animals. Additionally, advances in molecular phylogenetics have revealed complexities in their evolutionary relationships that challenge conventional classifications. This ongoing debate reflects the dynamic nature of biological classification as new data emerges.

Euglenas are freshwater organisms that can be found in various aquatic habitats such as ponds, lakes, and rivers. They are known for their ability to thrive in both freshwater and brackish environments. Euglenas are commonly found in areas with organic matter where they can use sunlight to photosynthesize and obtain nutrients.
Yes because they are protoctists.
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.
me yes what humma
They feed and they reproduce these are characteristics of living things
Euglenas can survive through photosynthesis or by consuming material from their environment. So with a lot of light they can be autotrophic and with little or no light they can survive by eating (heterotrophism).
