Detailed explanation-4: -Complete answer: Euglena has the characters of both plants and animals. Euglena carries out photosynthesis as they have chloroplasts within the body of the cell which enables them to feed by autotrophy, like plants. However, they can also take nourishment heterotrophically, like that of animals.
