because Aristotle had a system to classify organisms on earth that only included plants and animals like human beings. The reason why euglena would have been hard was because it is capable of photosynthesis, which is natural for a plant type organism, but it was also capable of moving which was not something that plants would do but something humans or animals would do.

What function might the stigma of the Euglena serve?

The students are planning to write labels for their diagram, explaining how each part contributes to the function of the euglena. Which label would be most appropriate for the chloroplast? Responses "This structure helps the euglena obtain minerals from its environment so that it can perform life functions."

"This structure helps the euglena remove food wastes from the cell after their nutrition has been used for life processes."

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.


What is the problem with Euglena?

The disadvantages of euglena are mostly related to its structure and the fact that there is a debate that never ends on whether it is a plant or animal. The lack of routine genetic analysis is the main disadvantage.
