Answer 1

Answer:

answer is Being as majority of them is not active in water

Answer 2

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Euglena is a large genus of unicellular protists: they have both plant and animal characteristics. All live in water and move by means of a flagellum. This is an animal characteristic. Most have chloroplasts, which are characteristic of algae and plants

Euglena is photosynthetic in the presence of sunlight i.e autotrophic, when deprived of sunlight they behave like heterotrophs by predating on other smaller organisms.

Since they are seen on both fresh water and salt water,option B can be false
