There are a number of differences between these organisms and these are as follows:

Amoeba: Asexual
Paramecium: Sexual by conjugation
Euglena: Asexual


2) Nutrition
Amoeba: Heterotroph by phagocytosis
Paramecium: Heterotroph by predation
Euglena: Autotroph by photosynthesis and heterotroph by ingestion


3) Locomotion

Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
