Answer (2)

The answer is a euglena has parts that allow it to move and catch food as an animal does. It also has chloroplasts, so it can make its own food, as a plant does.

Euglena is similar to plant cells because it has chloroplasts for photosynthesis and a flexible pellicle for structural support. It resembles animal cells through its motility, enabled by flagella, and its contractile vacuole for regulating water. This dual functionality makes Euglena a unique example in biology.
