Is euglena a fungi?
It's only dangerous if you are small enough to be eaten by them...i.e. another single celled animal.
Would you classify euglena as an animal-like protist or a plant like?
Euglena don't fit in as really plants or animals. Though you can probably find more animal-like characteristics. Like animal cells, euglena don't have cell walls. They also have cilia and flagella that they can use to move and I think they can also acquire nutrients from things they digest, but they also have chloroplasts and can photosynthesize. That's why euglena are protists. They're sort of in the middle.
Why euglena is more animal like?
Euglena is considered more animal-like due to its ability to move, detect light and respond to it, and consume other organisms as a food source. These characteristics are more commonly associated with animals rather than with plants, which is why euglena is often categorized as a mixotrophic organism with characteristics of both plants and animals.
Before the discovery of organisms like Euglena all organisms were classified as either?
Before the discovery of organisms like Euglena, all organisms were classified as either plants or animals. This binary classification was based on observable characteristics, such as mobility and the presence of chlorophyll. Euglena challenged this distinction because it exhibits features of both plants (through photosynthesis) and animals (through motility). This led to a more nuanced understanding of classification in biology, paving the way for the development of the five-kingdom system and further classifications based on evolutionary relationships.
Is 'Euglena' an animal or a plant?
Euglena is a single-celled organism that is neither strictly an animal nor a plant. It belongs to a group called protozoa, which are considered to be protists. Euglena can undergo photosynthesis like plants but can also feed on organic matter like animals.
Why are humans more like animals than plants?
We have hearts animals have hearts , have you ever felt a plants heart beat plus can plants walk
Are there more plants or animals in the coral reef?
there is more animals because the plants are animals.
Are amoeba and paramecium are more like then plants and animal and why and yes or no?
Yes, amoeba and paramecium are more like each other than plants and animals because they are both unicellular organisms belonging to the kingdom Protista. Plants and animals are multicellular organisms belonging to separate kingdoms (Plantae and Animalia) with distinct characteristics such as cell wall presence and mode of nutrition.
How do plant like protist eat?
They are called plant like protists because, like plants, they photosynthesize their own food. They make sugars just like plants do and through chloroplasts like plants. Some, like Euglena, can be heterotrophic in the dark and even can move through flagella. Some, like Rhodophyta, are more plant like.
What characteristic of the pellicle makes Euglena different from true plants?
The pellicle of Euglena is made of protein strips, providing flexibility and enabling movement, while true plants have a cell wall made of cellulose. This allows Euglena to exhibit more animal-like movement, such as swimming and changing shape.
Why do wolves balance the world?
they eat animals that eat things like plants, and if they were gone there would be no more plants
Which is more in number plants or animals?
plants
