Question
Which of the following organism is connecting link between plantae and animalia kingdom?1 pointEuglenaParameciumAmoebaPlasmodium
Solution
The organism that is considered a connecting link between the plantae and animalia kingdoms is Euglena.
Here's why:
Euglena is a genus of single-celled flagellate eukaryotes. It is the best known and most widely studied member of the class Euglenoidea, a diverse group containing some 54 genera and at least 800 species.
Euglena exhibits characteristics of both plants and animals. Like plants, Euglena can perform photosynthesis. They contain chloroplasts, which are characteristic of algae and plants, for this purpose.
On the other hand, in the absence of sunlight, they can also take in food from their environment in a manner similar to animals. This is done through a process known as phagocytosis, where the organism engulfs
