Summary Introduction
Concept Introduction: Euglenids are free living protists with mitochondria. Euglenids are mostly fresh water organisms and only a few survive in marine conditions. Most of the Euglenids have the ability to perform photosynthesis. Some Euglenids like euglena are mixotrophs, which means that they function as heterotrophy when the situation prevents photosynthesis.
