Meghna Thapar 4 years, 8 months ago

Some characteristic features of Euglenoids are as follows.

• Euglenoids (such as Euglena) are unicellular protists commonly found in fresh water.

• Instead of cell wall, a protein-rich cell membrane known as pellicle is present.

• They bear two flagella on the anterior end of the body.

• A small light sensitive eye spot is present.

• They contain photosynthetic pigments such as chlorophyll and can thus prepare their own food. However, in absence of light, they behave similar to heterotrophs by capturing other small aquatic organisms.

• They have both plant and animal-like features, which makes them difficult to classify and hence they are called as connecting link between plants and animals.
