Euglena are found in aquatic environments, almost always freshwater ponds. Because they are autotrophs and produce their own energy from chlorophyll in the same manner of plants, a high enough population can make their habitat appear quite green.
There are two main types of Euglena: autotrophic Euglena that can photosynthesize and heterotrophic Euglena that must ingest food particles to survive. Autotrophic Euglena have chloroplasts and can produce their own food through photosynthesis, while heterotrophic Euglena do not have chloroplasts and rely on absorbing nutrients from their environment.
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.
They send radio waves to the targets and destroy its system of sense. After Euglena stings their target with flagella and kills it.
The flagellum is the organelle in euglena that helps in locomotion. It is a tail-like structure that allows the euglena to move through its aquatic environment by beating in a whip-like motion.
The Euglena regulates its internal environment through a contractile vacuole which helps maintain the balance of water and ions within the cell. The contractile vacuole collects excess water and expels it from the cell, preventing it from swelling and potentially bursting.

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.
The eyespot in Euglena helps the organism detect light direction, enabling it to move towards light for photosynthesis and navigation. It contains pigments that are sensitive to light and can help Euglena orient itself in its environment.

Euglena gracilis
Both a euglena's flagellum and a flag are used for waving or movement. The flagellum on a euglena helps it to swim and navigate through its environment, much like how a flag waves in the wind for communication or decoration.
Yes, Euglena is photosynthetic. It contains chloroplasts that allow it to carry out photosynthesis, using sunlight to produce energy. However, Euglena can also feed heterotrophically by absorbing nutrients from its environment when sunlight is not available.
