correct- An amoeba is responsible for all functions, and a red blood cell is responsible for some functions. - correct
The correct comparison is: An amoeba is responsible for all functions, and a red blood cell is responsible for some functions.
An amoeba, being a unicellular organism, performs all life functions within one cell. In contrast, a red blood cell is a specialized cell within a multicellular organism and primarily functions in transporting oxygen, relying on other cells to carry out different functions.

The correct statement is: A euglena can survive on its own, but a white blood cell cannot.
Euglena is a unicellular organism capable of photosynthesis and can live independently. In contrast, white blood cells are specialized cells within a multicellular organism and cannot survive on their own outside the body.
