The euglena acts like a plant and an animal making it a unique organism. Euglena are single celled flagellate algae that can be found in the water, mud and sand of ponds and puddles. Although they contain chlorophyll, Euglena cannot survive solely by photosynthesis. Euglena vary in shape from cylindrical to oval, with flagella that are shorter than their bodies. They range in size from 35-45um and may be green or reddish in color.
All euglena have chloroplasts and can make their own food by photosynthesis. They are not completely autotrophic though, euglena can also absorb food from their environment; euglena usually live in quiet ponds or puddles.
what are some similarities between euglena and plant cells
Chloroplasts, part of a group of organelles called plastids.
Euglena, a single-celled organism, primarily faces predation from various protozoa, such as ciliates and flagellates. Small invertebrates, like certain rotifers and microcrustaceans, can also feed on euglena. Additionally, some species of larger zooplankton may consume euglena as part of their diet. Overall, euglena's predators are typically microscopic and part of the aquatic food web.
euglena does indeed have chrlorplasts.

Yes, their are some Euglena that are pathogenic. Many are pathogenic, although some are not.

The one celled "Euglena"Currently, over 1,000 species of Euglena have been described. There are many to be discovered. Some Euglena are considered to have both plant and animal features.
The common name of Euglena gracilis is "euglena."
