Q. Which one of the following organisms acts as the connecting link in possessing the characters of plants and animals?

Solution:

Being mixotrophic in nature, Euglena is considered as a connecting link between plants and animals. In the presence of light, they become autotrophic, and in the absence of light, their behaviour is heterotrophic. They also have a flexible pellicle layer instead of the cell wall.
