Which pair of terms could apply to the same organism?
Heterotroph and Herbivore because Heterotroph is an organism deriving its nutritional requirements from complex organic substances, while a Herbivore is an animal that feeds on plants. They are the most similar rather than *Heterotroph and Autotroph * Autotroph and parasite * producer and predator. You're welcome. Good luck on your regents!
Is anabaena autotroph or heterotroph?
Ameba is heterotrophic.Autotrophs (from Greek autos = self, trophe = nutrition) make their own food by taking energy from the environment (sun light or other chemicals). These include plants and algae or anything with chlorophyll.Heterotrophs (from Greek heteros = other, trophe = nutrition) get their energy by eating other living things. Ameba is a heterotroph since it eats smaller animals and plants.

We've been studying high school biology. It seems that homotroph is a synonym for autotroph (basically, a producer, or an organism that makes its own food through photosynthesis). Therefore, a red panda is a heterotroph (which eats food rather than makes its own food).
Why is Euglena is classified as a protoctist and not as an animal or a plant?
It's a plant like protist, it contains chlorophyll and carries out photosynthesis. The eyespots function as a light shield which allows light from a certain direction to strike the light detector. it doesn' have a cell wall because it is "plant-like," not a plant, it has a pellicle that provides strength and flexibility since it lacks a cell wall.in order to be classified as a plant rather than "plant like" it would need to have a cell wall
