It has chloroplast to trap light to enable photosynthesis just like plants
Euglena can not be considered a plant cell because it has animal and plant characteristics.
Euglena isn't a animal or plant cell
what are some similarities between euglena and plant cells
Plankton is not algae. Plankton eats algae though.
No plankton is not a plant it's just a small animal in the sea/ocean.

The one celled "Euglena"Currently, over 1,000 species of Euglena have been described. There are many to be discovered. Some Euglena are considered to have both plant and animal features.
It is neither a plant nor animal actually. It is really in the protista kingdom because it is a protozoa.Domain: EukaryotaKingdom: Protista(unranked): ExcavataPhylum: EuglenophytaClass: EuglenoideaOrder: EuglenalesFamily: EuglenaceaeGenus: EuglenaYour mama
euglena
Euglena can be classified as a plant cell due to the presence of chloroplasts and a cell wall. The chloroplasts enable photosynthesis, allowing euglena to produce its own food like plants. Additionally, the cell wall provides structural support and protection, further aligning euglena with plant characteristics.
Plant plankton are called producers because the get energy from the sun and make their own food
Animal plankton are typically omnivores, feeding on a variety of other organisms such as smaller zooplankton, fish larvae, and even plant plankton. Plant plankton, also known as phytoplankton, are photosynthetic organisms that primarily obtain energy from sunlight and nutrients from the water, so they are not considered omnivores.
