What characteristics of an animal does the euglena possess?
441967
The euglena moves, which is something more commonly associated with animals. It has a flagellum. It also has an eyespot.

It would be a cold blooded animal, meaning it has no homeostatic mechanisms to regulate it's temperature (where warm blooded animals do things like sweat to cool them down, or shiver to warm them up). \nThe scientific name for a cold blooded animal is an 'ectotherm'.

The unicellular organism is self sustaining. It can reproduce. The specialized cell cannot survive on its own. Take a blood cell for instance. It does important things for the body, but it can't make more blood cells, or a new person.

1. Eukaryotes can be multicellular or unicellular.  Prokaryotes (bacteria) are single celled organisms.\n2. Mitochondria and golgi apparatus can be found in skin cells.

an organism composed of one or more cells containing visibly evident nuclei and organelles

Slimemolds have these properties. They are a very strange fungus-like plant/animal.

Think I found the answer on-line, quoting:\n"It also has a red eyespot. Euglena gracilis uses its eyespot to locate light. Without light, it cannot use its chloroplasts to make itself food."\n\nfrom the site: http://www.fcps.edu/StratfordLandingES/Ecology/mpages/euglena.htm\n\nhope that helps

I think you're off...sorry. Caffeine accelerates metabolism of animals that have nervous system. It doesn't affect the cells, it affects the nervous system that controls the metabolic rate of, for example, mammals. It works pretty much teh same way as adrenaline.\nOn the other hand, euglena cysts don't have reduce metabolic rate: the dont have ANY metabolism going on. They're just a mass of molecules disposed in a perfect way that when triggered by the environmental condition, they start  working. Like a car motor. To do this, the euglena must in fact be very metabolically active in order to produce a lot of stuff and make a lot of changes to prepare for cysting. The stimuly are very specific: water and glucose. (and lack of water or glucose to form teh cyst). So i doubt that caffeine will affect, unless you put so much into the water that it becomes a poison, in which condition it may form a cyst (not by affecting the metabolic rate though)\nYou migh want to rethink your project and try to find out how much caffeine is pisonous for euglena and can it form cyst to protect itsefl from this condition?\nThe other thing about working with petri dishes: If it's a solid medium, nutrients will probably drop dow very fast, in which condition the euglena will form cysts. You won't be able to know how much the lack of nutrients made it unvulnerable to caffeine. Try to use a system that is more stable, like liquid medium, in which you can somehow trigger a cyst forming event. That way you will have more control.\nGood luck

An animal is defined as a multicellular, eukaryotic organism that has to eat food to obtain energy and does not have chitinous cell walls. These characteristics set animals apart from all the other kingdoms of life: plants (which have cell walls, but make their own food), fungi (which have cell walls), protists (unicellular), monera (prokaryotic, unicellular).

euglena are alga which use photosynthesis to produce their own  energy source, primarily, glucose.  cyanobacteria must occupy a biological host in order to survive and multiply.

They are also called Monera. They lack nuclei and the various organelles of eukaryotes. Prokaryotes possess a single "naked" chromosome consisting of a single DNA molecule without the proteins found in eukaryotes. SOme prokaryotes have plasmids, small circular DNA moleucles, in addition to the major chromosomes.\nBacteria are also prokaryotes

Pretty much like an orchid. Probably green since they would need to utilise the sun as a source of energy, and having with hair that can absorb nutrients and water from the air.

Your question is vague and / or incomplete.Still I will do my best to answer it.\n Planktons = Planktons are microscopic aquatic organisms that float and drift on the water surface. Mostly are single celled but need not be always.The size matters and it has to be microscopic.\nThese planktons are of two main types i) Phytoplanktons and ii) Zooplanktons.\ni)Phytoplanktons-: Basically these are planktons as mentioned above as they fit in to that category.In addition, they have chloroplasts with chlorophyll. So they can prepare their own food like all plants that we know.Therefore the prefix PHYTO- is put before them to indicate their plant like character and affinity with the Plant Kingdom.\nMany unicellular algae come in this group.They are found in the seas as well as fresh water.Diatoms Volvox Chlamydomonas Eudorina Pandorina are but a few examples.\nii) Zooplanktons-:Basically these are planktons as mentioned above as they fit in to that category.But they do not have  chloroplsts like the first one and hence they cannot prepare their own food.Thus they are more animal like in their nutrition and hence the prefix ZOO- is put before them to indicate their animal like character and affinity towards the Animal Kingdom.These are also found in sea and fresh water.Many protozoa and larvae of aquatic animals come in the category.\nHuge animal like Baleen Whale largy depend upon this planktonic flora and fauna for their subsistance.\n Now in the light of the above information kindly rephrase your question. Your personal information will have no bearing on the answer so you need not give it.

Euglena can divide into two separate organisms by splitting down the middle. This is called Binary Fission. Binary fission usually begins with the on set of night fall with the large flagellum being shed first. The nucleus, chloroplast and basal bodies all divide so each new cell ends up with the required cell components. This procedure takes quite a long time and requires plenty of spare time to follow all the way through.\n\nThey can also exchange genetic material using conjugation. This is a form of sexual reproduction.

Both being unicellular (no matter what anybody said), and generally autotrophic organisms... All protists are unicellular, and not all algae belong to Regnum Protista... Place of algae in Whittaker's 5 Regnums is not well explained, and multicellular algae belong to Regnum Plantae... If someone has better idea where to classify them they could make a career out of it...\nBut remember, most people still divide all the organisms into 2 Regnums: plants and animals...

Sounds like 1st yr HS biology homework.  Here´s a hint:\nBoth have a nucleus, DNA material, function similarly.\n\nThe rest should be in your text book, just look at the two diagrams and list the similar inner parts of the cells.\n\nOne more hint:\nHow they differ-\nPlant cells have rectangular shapes and have chloroplasts w/ chlorophyl.\n\nAnimal cells are round.

Procaryotes and eucaryotes are types of microorganisms which are classified based on their membranes.  The main difference between procaryotic and eucaryotic microorganism is that the latter has nucleus and membrane-bound organelles while the former does not.  Furthermore, procaryotes are mostly unicellular while eucaryotes are multicellular.
