A red eyespot is clearly visible. In fact the real light sensitive organ is the swelling near the base of the flagellum. The red area makes sure only light from one direction is detected. Since the light sensitive organ is directly connected to the flagellum, Euglena is perfectly able to swim towards a light source

What are two ways that Euglena can move?
By moving their flagellum (twirling it) or by their eyespot. The eyespot goes wherever there is sunlight.
Does an amoeba have an eyespot?
Yes
Light sensitivity in euglena is provided by the eyespot True or False?
Yes, light sensitivity in euglena is provided by the eyespot.
What structure do euglena have that is sensetive to light?
Euglena use an eyespot to detect light. An eyespot is a dark spot on their body. They cannot see the world around them but they can see light. The eyespot is located anywhere on their body but usually near their flagella. A flagella is a whip-like strand that euglena and other organisms use to move through the water. Euglena are producers and they make food through photosynthesis so they need the light.
