pellicle
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.

Protects the nucleus with a rigid layer of cellulose
Only plants, bacteria, fungi, and algae have cell walls. You are looking at an animal or protozoa cell that have no cell walls. Cell walls gives rigidity to cells.

Cell Wall
I think it is the cell wall or the cell membrane
The cell wall or membrane.
The tough outer covering that lies just outside the cell membrane in a plant cell is called the cell wall. In plant cells, it is usually made up of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin.
Unlike the cell membrane, the cell wall is made of tough fibres (D). The cell membrane is mainly composed of a lipid bilayer - which means it is flexible. Plant cell walls are made of cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin - which make the cell rigid.

Animal cells are contained by asemipermeable cell membrane. Plant cells also have a semipermeable cell membrane, but it is surrounded by a cell wall (tough, fairly ridged and made of mostly cellulose).

Protects the nucleus with a rigid layer of cellulose
Cells have methods other than diffusion/osmosis to move materials across the cell membrane, most of which involve membrane proteins and require the use of energy. The cell membrane also performs functions other than controlling the movement of materials into and out of the cell, and the membranes of some specialized cells have very complex functions. So we can see that the cell membrane is a very intricate and important component of the cell.
Euglena has a stiff, yet still somewhat flexible, pellicle underneath the cell membrane that helps maintain the shape of the cell. The pellicle consists of a protein layer that is organized in strips that spiral around the long axis of the cell and is underlain by a series of microtubules (http://tolweb.org/Euglenida/97461).
