Answer (2)

The protozoa that can feed itself by either absorbing food or through photosynthesis is the euglena, as it possesses both the ability to perform photosynthesis and to absorb nutrients. Other protozoa, such as paramecium and amoeba, do not have this capability, relying solely on heterotrophic feeding methods. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is euglena. ;
