The answer for the above question is the Euglenid. These are a protist characterized by one or more whiplike flagella that are used for locomotion and by a photoreceptor that detects light. These are photosynthetic, however if they are deprived of chlorophyll, some are capable of heterotrophic mode of nutrition where the ingest already made food.
