Euglena is a flagellate while Paramecium is a ciliate. Paramecium shows animal characteristics, whereas Euglena shows both animal and plant characteristics. Paramecium is a heterotroph while Euglena is both a heterotroph and an autotroph. Euglena can survive long droughts without water or light, but Paramecium cannot.
