They are both free-living and parasitic.
They have one or two flagella and have no cell walls, but their plasma membranes are strong and sturdy.
The share characteristics of both plants and animals.
Euglenoids are found in freshwater, especiallywater rich in organic materials.
Euglena is one of the example of Euglenoids
