Euglena have a chloroplast and hence are like algae
They are also single celled organisms with a flagella and so are like protozoa.
Hence they are used to study both.

Euglena are one of my absolutely favorite unicellular organisms.
When they live in water that get some sunlight, they develop chloroplasts and are able to produce their own food. When they are in water that does not get much sunlight or any, they do not maintain their chlorplasts and can resort to taking in their food through their cellular membrane.
They are the only protozoa that do this, as far as I know, which makes them excellent for studying both algae and protozoa.
