1. Euglenid

   Euglenids (euglenoids, or euglenophytes, formally Euglenida/Euglenoida, ICZN, or Euglenophyceae, ICBN) are one of the best-known groups of flagellates, which are excavate eukaryotes of the phylum Euglenophyta and their cell structure is typical of that group. They are commonly found in freshwater, especially when it is rich in organic materials, with a few marine and endosymbiotic members. Many euglenids feed by phagocytosis, or strictly by diffusion. A monophyletic group consisting of the mixotrophic Rapaza viridis (1 species) and the two groups Eutreptiales (24 species) and Euglenales (983 species) have chloroplasts and produce their own food through photosynthesis. This group is known to contain the carbohydrate paramylon. Euglenids split from other Euglenozoa more than a billion years ago. The plastids in all extant photosynthetic species is the result from secondary endosymbiosis between a phagotrophic eukaryovorous euglenid and a Pyramimonas-related green alga.

1. euglenid

   Euglenid is a large group of single-celled organisms, part of the protist kingdom, that are mostly free-living and found in freshwater environments. They are characterized by the presence of a flexible layer under their cell membrane called a pellicle, a whip-like tail or flagellum to help them move, and a light-sensitive eyespot for detecting light. Some euglenids have the ability to photosynthesize, functioning like plants, while others act as heterotrophs, feeding on other organisms or decaying organic material.

1. Euglenid

   Euglenoids are one of the best-known groups of flagellates, commonly found in freshwater especially when it is rich in organic materials, with a few marine and endosymbiotic members. Most euglenids are unicellular. Many euglenids have chloroplasts and produce energy through photosynthesis, but others feed by phagocytosis or strictly by diffusion. They belong to the phylum Euglenophyta, and their cell structure is typical of that group. Euglenids are thought to descend from an ancestor that took up green algae by secondary endosymbiosis.
