Base your answer to the question on the information below and on your knowledge of biology.
A biology student was given three unlabeled jars of pond water from the same source, each containing a different type of mobile unicellular organism: euglena, ameba, and
paramecium. The only information the student has is that the ameba and paramecium are both heterotrophs and the euglena can be either heterotrophic or autotrophic, depending
on its environment
State one way the euglena's two methods of nutrition provide a survival advantage the other unicellular organisms do not have.
No

Respuesta :

Answer:

They can perform photosynthesis.

Explanation:

Autotrophs are organisms that can produce their own food, and heterotrophs are organisms that feed on other organisms. This means that the ameba and paramecium can eat only other microorganisms.

The euglena is not limited to this. Hypothetically speaking, if there were no other microorganisms around it (which is unlikely), the euglena would not die as long as it is exposed to sunlight. Thanks to chloroplasts, organelles that contain chlorophyll, it can perform photosynthesis - a process in which, with the help of sunlight, carbon dioxide, minerals, and water are used to synthesize food.
