they trap sunlight and use the energy to make food
No it can not prepare food as it can not take co2 & trap sunlight.
They trap the energy in Sunlight using the green pigments in their leaves in the process called "photosynthesis". This process makes sugar and they store the food a polymers of sugar.
Chlorophyll. This pigment is found in the leaves.
they do not
Plants are producers they trap sunlight and make it into sugars. Only plants can do this and therefore animals need to eat plants as food to get the energy that plants have made to live.

Leaves are designed to trap sunlight, not food. They contain chlorophyll, which captures sunlight and uses it to convert carbon dioxide and water into energy through photosynthesis. This energy is then used by the plant to produce food in the form of sugars. Additionally, leaves contain stomata, small openings that allow for gas exchange during photosynthesis.
the euglena is unigue in that is both heterotrophic(must consume food) and autotrophic(can make its own food). -chloroplast within the euglena trap sunlight that is used for photosynthesis, and can be seen as several rod like structures throughout the cell.
Photosynthetic pigments are used.Most predominantly chlorophylls are used.
SUNLIGHT
Chloroplasts take in water and sunlight and turn it into food for the plant, glucose sugar. The byproduct/ waste is oxygen.
