1Ans) The Protista kingdom includes the unicellular creatures Euglena and Paramecium. They are comparable in some ways, including the following:
*Both Euglena and Paramecium are aquatic creatures that can be found in both freshwater and saltwater habitats.
*Their cytoplasm and other organelles are both contained within distinct cell membranes in each of them.
*They can control their water balance because of their contractile vacuoles.
*Euglena and Paramecium both feature cilia or flagella that aid in movement through their surroundings.
*With a single hole serving as both the mouth and the anus, they both have a basic digestive system.
*Binary fission is a method of asexual reproduction used by both Euglena and Paramecium.
*Each of them has a nucleus that aids as its genetic material.
*Generally, single celled creatures like Euglena and Paramecium have many traits in common, but they also have noticeable variances in their shape and behaviour.
