The Euglena is a simple organism.Respiration occurs through body surface
Euglena is primarily aerobic, meaning it obtains energy through aerobic respiration in the presence of oxygen. However, euglena can also switch to anaerobic respiration in the absence of oxygen to generate energy.
Eugena does not breathe in the sense that animals do. However, it does perform photosynthesis, which helps allow for the exchange of gases. Also, the permeable membrane surrounding the euglena allows for gaseous exchange.
All plants must have a way of getting energy. Most plants even underwater plants such as seaweed use photosynthesis and cellular respiration to get energy.
No, euglenas do not have a cell wall. They have a flexible pellicle, which is a protein layer that provides structure and support to their cell membrane. This allows for their unique ability to change shape.
Amoeba releases energy through the process of cellular respiration, which involves breaking down glucose molecules to generate ATP. Paramecium obtains energy through a combination of aerobic respiration and anaerobic fermentation. Euglena uses a specialized organelle called a chloroplast to conduct photosynthesis and produce energy in the form of ATP.

Euglena is primarily aerobic, meaning it obtains energy through aerobic respiration in the presence of oxygen. However, euglena can also switch to anaerobic respiration in the absence of oxygen to generate energy.
Euglena obtains oxygen through a process called diffusion. It absorbs oxygen from the surrounding water through its cell membrane, which allows gases to pass in and out of the cell. This process enables euglena to survive by taking in the oxygen it needs for respiration.

The common name of Euglena gracilis is "euglena."
Both the euglena and trypanosome are flagellated protozoans that have a similar cell structure with a single flagellum used for movement. They both possess a unique organelle called the kinetoplast, which is involved in the synthesis of RNA and DNA. Additionally, both organisms can switch between different energy sources, such as photosynthesis and aerobic respiration in the case of euglena, and glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation in the case of Trypanosomes.
euglena does indeed have chrlorplasts.
