Answer 1

Why are eugelnoids classified with plantlike protists?

a)They form pseudopods.

b) They contain chloroplasts and undergo photosynthesis.

c) They have a nucleus surrounded by a membrane.

d) They have a flagellum.

Answer:

They contain chloroplasts and undergo photosynthesis

Explanation:

Euglenoids are eukaryotic organisms originated long before plants and animals. They are made up of single cells, they are parasitic in nature and inhabit freely.

Plantlike protists on the other hand are unicellular algaes. They are photosynthetic which explains their plantlike nature. Plantlike protists also have a few multicellular algaes but they are not as dominant as the unicellular algaes. Plantlike protists look like plants but because they are unicellular, they lack leaves, stems and roots.

In conclusion, eugelnoids can be classified as plantlike because it contains chloroplasts that gives it the ability to photosynthesize.

Answer 2

Answer: that have chloroplasts and undergo photosynthesis

Explanation: Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants and other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy.

During photosynthesis in green plants, the light energy is captured and used to convert carbon dioxide, water and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.
