Euglena

(The flagellum is not visible in this picture)
Power: 400x
Euglena cells are unique because they can be both autotrophic and heterotrophic. I observed that it is very green, which means that it has lots of chloroplasts. It is a eukaryote because it has a nucleus and organelles but is not classified as a autotroph or heterotroph.
