Which of the following organism possesses characteristics of a plant and an animal? A)Euglena B)Mycoplasma C)Paramecium D)Chlorella
Option A) Most species of Euglena have photosynthesizing chloroplasts within the body of the cell, which enable them to feed by autotrophy (making energy-containing organic molecules from inorganic raw material through the use of an energy source such as sunlight), like plants. However, they can also take nourishment heterotrophically (making use of food that comes from other organisms in the form of fats, carbohydrates, and proteins), like animals. So Euglena have features of both animals and plants.
