The similarities of the presented living organisms are as follows:
– they are all unicellular organisms;
– live in the aquatic environment;
– are eukaryotes, that is, they have nuclei.
Differences:
– the amoeba moves with the help of pseudopods or pseudopodia, the ciliate has cilia, thanks to which it moves, and the euglena has a flagellum, which serves as an organ of movement;
– euglena and ciliates have a dense cell wall, which is absent in amoeba;
– amoeba and ciliates feed by phagocytosis and pinocytosis, euglena, in addition, can form nutrients by itself due to the chlorophyll contained in it;
– ciliates have two nuclei, amoeba and euglena only one;
– ciliates are characterized by two methods of reproduction, and euglena and amoeba reproduce only asexually – by division.
