Leslie argues that an organism called a Euglena is a plant because it is eukaryotic, has a nucleus, makes its own food, and is unicellular. Where is Leslie's error?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Euglena lacks cell wall

Explanation:

Although euglena has many features of plant cells like

  • It is eukaryotic
  • It has a nucleus
  • It can make its own food

But it lacks cell wall which is a defining feature of plant cells. Instead of cell wall it has a pellicle which is made of protein and has a protective function for euglena. Thus it can not be clearly classified as a plant.

Answer: it lacks the cell wall

Explanation:all plant cells need a cell wall
