What are the characteristic features of euglenoids?

Answer: The following list includes some characteristics of euglenoids.

• Euglenoids are single celled protists that are frequently found in freshwater, including Euglena
• The pellicle, a protein-rich membrane of cell within, exists in place of the cell wall

   On the front of body, they have two flagella

• There is a tiny, light-sensitive eye spot there
• Since they are equipped with photosynthetic pigments like chlorophyll, they are able to prepare their own individual food. They act like heterotrophs when there is no light, though, by catching other tiny sea creatures
• Because they are hard to categorise and share traits with both plants and animals, they are known as the “connecting link” between flora and fauna
