they keep their shape because of pellicle
They are not.
Dinoflagellates and euglenoids differ from other plantlike protists primarily in their structure and motility. Dinoflagellates typically have two flagella for movement and possess unique cell walls made of cellulose plates, contributing to their distinctive appearance. Euglenoids, on the other hand, have a flexible pellicle instead of a rigid cell wall, allowing for greater shape variability. Additionally, many euglenoids can photosynthesize using chloroplasts, but they can also switch to heterotrophic feeding in the absence of light, showcasing their adaptability compared to other plantlike protists.
Asexual.
Euglenoids do not have a traditional cell wall like many other protists and plant cells. Instead, they possess a flexible outer covering called a pellicle, which allows them to change shape and move more freely. This unique structure is composed of protein strips beneath the plasma membrane, providing both protection and structural support.
They are both heterotrophs.
Euglenoids can obtain energy through photosynthesis using chloroplasts in their cells. They have a unique mode of movement utilizing a protein strip called a pellicle that allows them to change shape. Some euglenoids can also feed heterotrophically by engulfing food particles through phagocytosis.
euglenoids live in fresh water
Euglenoids do not cause disease.
euglenophyta
Euglenoids are a group of single-celled protists that are typically found in freshwater environments. They are characterized by a unique protein structure called pellicle, which gives them flexibility and allows them to change shape. Euglenoids are known for their ability to photosynthesize using chloroplasts, but some species can also feed on organic matter.
