Verified by Toppr

  • Euglena is considered as the link between plants and animals.
  • Euglena has chloroplast and in the presence of sunlight, they carry out photosynthesis to produce glucose, like plants.
  • In the absence of sunlight, the Euglena shows holozoic nutrition and ingests the food from the outside, like animals.
  • It has a pellicle (just like a cell wall in plants) made up of a protein layer supported by a substructure of microtubules.
  • Euglena is motile just like animals.

So, the correct answer is option D.
