Euglena is a protist that exhibits both plant and animal characteristics, therefore they have the ability to
live a double life. When there is sufficient sunlight, they are green and
photosynthetic like plants and they can make their own food. They use their chloroplasts
to produce sugars by photosynthesis. Also, in the absence of sunlight, when they cannot produce their food, they consume smaller living organisms such as
amoeba like the animals.
