yes it can
There are only few types. Euglenla is an example
Euglena is a protozoa that can either absorb nutrients like a heterotroph or perform photosynthesis like an autotroph. It has chlorophyll that enables it to produce its own food using sunlight, but it can also ingest organic matter if necessary.
Not all protists are producers; for example, protozoa, which are animal-like protists, are primarily consumers. Unlike producers such as algae that perform photosynthesis, protozoa obtain their energy by consuming organic matter or other organisms. Examples of protozoa include amoebas and paramecia, which play a crucial role in ecosystems as decomposers and predators.
Euglena is a unique organism that exhibits characteristics of both protozoa and algae, making it a protist. It possesses chloroplasts and can perform photosynthesis like algae, but it also has the ability to move and feed heterotrophically, similar to protozoa. This duality allows euglena to adapt to various environments and obtain energy in multiple ways.
Plants, algae, and some bacteria are capable of photosynthesis. These organisms contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures sunlight and converts it into chemical energy through the process of photosynthesis.
Plant cells and protozoa differ fundamentally in their structure and function. Plant cells have a rigid cell wall made of cellulose, chloroplasts for photosynthesis, and large central vacuoles, which help maintain turgor pressure. In contrast, protozoa are unicellular eukaryotes that lack a cell wall and are typically more flexible, often moving using cilia or flagella. Additionally, protozoa do not perform photosynthesis and instead obtain nutrients through ingestion or absorption.

Protozoa eat food to obtain energy and algae use photosynthesis.
ability to perform photosynthesis
No, bacteria do not have the ability to perform photosynthesis.
They perform cellular respiration but not photosynthesis.
no, the black mamba is a snake. Only plants can perform photosynthesis
Plant cells contain chloroplasts which allow them to perform photosynthesis.
Yes, algae perform photosynthesis as a means of obtaining energy.
eukaryot unicellular size 10 to 52 micrometers but can be large to 1 milimeter but xenophyophores are protozoa of size 20 centimeter having plant like behaviour of photosynthesis
Algae are photosynthetic organisms that contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis, while protozoa are single-celled organisms that typically feed on organic matter. Algae are usually green, brown, or red in color, while protozoa can vary in shape and size. Additionally, algae have a cell wall, while protozoa do not.
Chloroplasts its where photosynthesis occurs.
