algae ... euglena belong to class algae

Answer 2

Answer:

Euglena belong to the Class Euglenoidea

Explanation:

• Euglena represents a genus of Euglenoids.

• The classification of Euglena is ambiguous since they are kept in the phylum Euglenozoa (phylum Euglenophyta) along with algae due to the presence of chlorophyll.

• Interestingly, the pigmented euglenoids possess similar pigment systems to higher plants.

• Since all the species of Euglena do not contain chloroplasts, they are kept in the phylum Euglenozoa.

• The majority of them are freshwater organisms found in stagnant water. Instead of a cell wall, they have a protein-rich layer called pellicle which makes their body flexible.  They are biflagellated, with a short and a long one.

• Though they are photosynthetic in the presence of sunlight, when deprived of sunlight they behave like heterotrophs by predating on other smaller organisms.

• Their taxonomic hierarchy reveals that they belong to :

Domain- Eukaryota

Kingdom- Protista  

Phylum- Euglenozoa (Euglenophyta)  

Class - Euglenoidea

Order- Euglenales  

Family- Euglenaceae  

Genus- Euglena
