Answer 1

I think you got that notion wrong. Euglena is not classified as an animal nor a plant. Euglena belong to a third kingdom called Protista. Most species of Euglena have chloroplasts which help them synthesize food from sunlight making them autotrophs. On the other hand they can take nourishment heterotrophically which makes them similar to animals. Since they have both plant and animal like similarities actually classified such organisms into a third kingdom called Protista.

Hope it helps you and if it does please mark my answer as the brainliest:)

Answer 2

Euglena is considered to be protozoa.According to the question..Yes it has chlorophyll but in case of plants they cannot move from one place to another (they can only move their parts) but does move in search of food.Thus it is said to be animal.
