Yes, they can.
Euglena primarily feeds through photosynthesis, using chloroplasts to convert sunlight into energy, but it can also absorb nutrients from its environment when light is unavailable. Amoeba, on the other hand, is a heterotrophic organism that primarily consumes smaller organisms, such as bacteria and other protozoa, by engulfing them through a process called phagocytosis. Both organisms exhibit flexibility in their feeding strategies according to their environmental conditions.
It should be fairly easy to find paramecia in freshwater ponds, and basically any other mass of fresh water, especialy those with lots of water plants in them, Euglena is just the group of protists they are in. You can find amoebas in exactly the same kind of places, but the amoeba is slightly more sensitive to pollution, so you are less likely to find it in polluted areas.
An Euglena in an environment with no light has a better chance of survival because Euglenas are photosynthetic organisms that can make their own food using sunlight. Amoebas in an environment with other organisms may face competition for resources or predation, which could decrease their chances of survival.
Euglena is a single-celled protist that is capable of photosynthesis, producing its own food using sunlight and carbon dioxide. However, when sunlight is limited, euglena can also act as a heterotroph and consume organic matter, such as bacteria or other small organisms, through phagocytosis. This dual mode of nutrition allows euglena to survive in various environmental conditions.
An euglena has a flagellum; a volvox does not. A volvox has a gonidium; an euglena doesn't. An euglena has a stigma; a volvoxdoes not.a volvox has a lot of characteristics an euglena does not, and an euglena has a lot of characteristics a volvox does not. Unfortuneatly, I do not know the rest of the other unique characteristics that a volvox, or an euglena has that are different from each other. You must go to google to find the rest. Or bing, or ask.com.
The most obvious difference between an amoeba and a paramecium or euglena is that the amoeba has no overall shape, and the entire cell changes its shape as the amoeba moves. The paramecium and the euglena both have definite shapes which they do not alter. The amoeba can engulf food particles at any point on its own cell membrane, but the paramedium has an oral groove which is where it ingests food particles. And the euglena also has a chloroplast, unlike the other two (or any other protozoan).
Amoebae are heterotrophic, meaning they must eat other organisms to survive.

Amoeba: A type of protist that moves by extending its pseudopods. Paramecium: A ciliated protist that feeds on bacteria and other small organisms. Euglena: A protist that can photosynthesize like a plant and move with a flagellum.

"The eye spot is a photo receptor. It alerts the Euglena to the presence of light. The chloroplast uses light to carry on photosynthesis. While the Euglena is in the presence of light it is making food. The Euglena also can eat food like other Protists if there is no light." quoted by ATP-Man (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080114172048AAK4szq)
Some protists include algae, diatoms, paramecium, rotifers, flagellates, amoeba, and giardia. Other protists include trichomonadida, euglena, trichonympha, ceratium, and dinoflagellates.
It's a strict autotroph, unlike other Euglena species.
