Answer 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.

Body organisation : Instead of a cell wall, they have a protein rich layer called pellicle which make their body flexible. They have two flagella, a short and long one. Mode of nutrition : Nutrition is holophytic, saprobic or holozoic. This mode of nutrition is called mixotrophic. Though they are photosynthetic in the presence of sunlight, when deprived of sunlight they behave like heterotrophs by predating on other smaller organisms. The pigments of euglenoids are identical to those present in higher plants. The photosynthetic pigments include chlorophyll .a and b.. Prey such as bacteria and smalls flagellates are ingested through a cyclostome, supported by microtubules. Reserve food is carbohydrates in the form of paramylon or paramylum bodies. Reproduction : Euglenoids reproduce by longitudin...

Moreover, protists that exhibit similar morphological features may have evolved analogous structures because of similar selective pressures—rather than because of recent common ancestry. This phenomenon, called convergent evolution, is one reason why protist classification is so challenging. The emerging classification scheme groups the entire domain Eukaryota into six “supergroups” that contain all of the protists as well as animals, plants, and fungi that evolved from a common ancestor (Figure \(\PageIndex\): This diagram shows a proposed classification of the domain Eukara. Currently, the domain Eukarya is divided into six supergroups. Within each s...

Key Points • Excavata are a supergroup of protists that are defined by an asymmetrical appearance with a feeding groove that is “excavated” from one side; it includes various types of organisms which are parasitic, photosynthetic and heterotrophic predators. • Excavata includes the protists: Diplomonads, Parabasalids and Euglenozoans. • Diplomonads are defined by the presence of a nonfunctional, mitochrondrial-remnant organelle called a mitosome. • Parabasalids are characterized by a semi-functional mitochondria referred to as a hydrogenosome; they are comprised of parasitic protists, such as Trichomonas vaginalis. • Euglenozoans can be classified as mixotrophs, heterotrophs, autotrophs, and parasites; they are defined by their use of flagella for movement. Key Terms • mitosome: an organelle found within certain unicellular eukaryotes which lack mitochondria • hydrogenosome: a membrane-bound organelle found in ciliates, trichomonads, and fungi which produces molecular hydrogen and ATP • kinetoplast: a disk-shaped mass of circular DNA inside a large mitochondrion, found specifically in protozoa of the class Kinetoplastea Excavata Many of the protist species classified into the supergroup Excavata are asymmetrical, single-celled organisms with a feeding groove “excavated” from one side.

Euglena gracillis is one of the species that has been used as a model organism for studying cell biology in the lab. Other species, such as Euglena viridis and Euglena sanguinea, can thrive in a short time; subsequently, their abundance can change the surface color of the pond to green and red, respectively. Euglena shares some characteristics of both plants and animals. For example, euglena contains chloroplasts; as a result, they can make their own food, a characteristic of plants. In contrast, euglena can also move using its flagella and consume food through [In this video] An euglena under a microscope. While I examined the pond life under a microscope, I came across this slow-moving euglena. Although the flagella are not obvious in this video, you can appreciate many chloroplasts and one red eyespot in a tear-drop shape organism. The red eyespot is located in the anterior of the euglena. Notice the way of euglena’s movement; it moves forward and also rotates its body axis. Structure of euglena The euglena cells are tear-drop shaped with a blunt end (head) and a pointed end. The common features of euglena cells are a nucleus, endoplasmic reticulum, Golgi apparatus, mitochondria, ribosomes, lysosomes, and a contractile vacuole. The unique features o...
