Question

Euglena could be autotrophic or heterotrophic.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A

True

Euglenoids are plant-like in the sense that most of them have a chloroplast and hence, chlorophyll, and are autotrophs. However, they are also animal-like because when light is not available, they can ingest food in ways that might resemble some protozoans. In other words, euglenoids can be facultative heterotrophs.
