The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the euglinoid species that have chlorophyll. This indicates that we are looking for organisms that can perform photosynthesis. 2. **Identifying Key Terms**: The terms "obligate autotrophs," "facultative autotrophs," "facultative heterotrophs," and "obligate heterotrophs" are crucial to understanding the types of nutritional modes. 3. **Eliminating Options**: Since the question specifies organisms with chlorophyll, we can eliminate the heterotrophic options: - **Facultative heterotrophs**: These organisms can switch between autotrophy and heterotrophy but are not primarily autotrophic. - **Obligate heterotrophs**: These organisms cannot perform photosynthesis and rely entirely on other organisms for nutrition. 4. **Understanding Autotrophs**: - **Obligate autotrophs**: These organisms must obtain energy through photosynthesis or chemical oxidation of inorganic substrates. - **Facultative autotrophs**: These organisms can perform photosynthesis but can also obtain energy from organic sources when necessary. 5. **Analyzing Euglenoids**: Euglenoids are unique because they possess chlorophyll, allowing them to perform photosynthesis, but they can also absorb nutrients from their environment, making them capable of heterotrophy. 6. **Conclusion**: Given that euglinoids can perform both functions (photosynthesis and nutrient absorption), they are classified as facultative autotrophs. Therefore, the correct answer is **option 2: facultative autotrophs**.
