Amoeba is a multicellular organism. 2. Euglena shows characteristics of both plants and animals.

Single correct option

Consider the following statements:
1. Amoeba is a multicellular organism.
2. Euglena shows characteristics of both plants and animals.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
  1. A. 1 only
  2. B. 2 only
  3. C. Both 1 and 2
  4. D. Neither 1 nor 2
Show answer and solution

Answer: (B) 2 only

Amoeba is a unicellular protozoan, so statement 1 is false. Euglena has chlorophyll and makes food by photosynthesis like plants, but lacks a cell wall and can move with a flagellum and feed heterotrophically in the dark like animals. Statement 2 is correct, so only statement 2 holds.
