because they are so hard to classify
protists
The 6 types of plant-like protists are diatoms, dinoflagellates, euglenoids, red algae, green algae, and brown algae. These protists exhibit characteristics of plants, such as containing chlorophyll and producing their own food through photosynthesis.
They are not.
Unlike other algae, euglenoids have one animal-like characteristic that allows them to be heterotrophs under certain conditions. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ than wtf is it??? that's sort of the damn question -_-
The three types of multicellular algae are red algae, brown algae, and green algae. These groups are classified based on their pigments, cell wall composition, and overall appearance. Each type of algae plays a unique role in aquatic ecosystems.
protists
Euglenoids are classified as a group of protists that exhibit characteristics of both protozoa and algae. They are primarily recognized for their ability to photosynthesize due to the presence of chloroplasts, which makes them similar to algae. However, they can also exhibit heterotrophic behavior, feeding on organic matter, which aligns with protozoan characteristics. Thus, Euglenoids are often considered a bridge between algae and protozoa.
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
Some examples of protist producers include phytoplankton, which are responsible for much of the ocean's primary production, and diatoms, which are a type of algae found in both freshwater and marine environments. These protists are capable of undergoing photosynthesis to produce their own food.
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.
They are not.
No, they are eukaryote.
Diatoms - Unicellular orgasnisms of the protista kingdom.Chlorophyta - A division of the kingdom of protista (known as green algae).Euglenophyta - Small phylum of the protista kingdom (mostly unicellular).Dinoflagellata - A large group of protists, many of these organisms contain chlorophyll.Chrysophyta - Eukaryotic algae (known as goldenalgae).Phaeophyta - Belonging to the protista kingdom (known as brown algae).Rhodophyta - Belonging to the protista kingdom (known as red algae).
