euglenoid
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.

euglenoid
Euglenoids are a group of single-celled, often free-living, and flagellated organisms, found mostly in freshwater environments. They belong to the kingdom Protista and phylum Euglenophyta. They are characterized by their elongated shape, flexible pellicle covering, and the presence of one or two flagella for locomotion. Some can photosynthesize like plants, while others behave more like animals, absorbing nutrients from their surroundings. Well-known examples include Euglena and Phacus.
