The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks what type of organism Euglena is classified as among the given options: ciliate, sporozoan, flagellate, or sarcoidin. 2. **Classification of Protozoans**: Protozoans are classified based on their locomotory structures. The four main classes are: - Ciliates: Organisms that have cilia for movement. - Sporozoans: Organisms that do not have any locomotory structures and are often parasitic. - Flagellates: Organisms that have flagella for movement. - Sarcodines: Organisms that use pseudopodia for movement. 3. **Analyzing Euglena**: Euglena is known to have a long flagellum, which is a whip-like structure used for locomotion. This characteristic aligns with the classification of flagellates. 4. **Identifying the Correct Option**: Since Euglena possesses a flagellum for movement, it falls under the category of flagellates. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is "flagellate." **Final Answer**: Euglena is a flagellate. ---
