What are the differences between the euglena ameba and volvox?

Answer 1

An euglena has a flagellum; a volvox does not. A volvox has a gonidium; an euglena doesn't. An euglena has a stigma; a volvoxdoes not.a volvox has a lot of characteristics an euglena does not, and an euglena has a lot of characteristics a volvox does not. Unfortuneatly, I do not know the rest of the other unique characteristics that a volvox, or an euglena has that are different from each other. You must go to Google to find the rest. Or bing, or ask.com.

Answer 2

Euglena is usually a rod-like organism with one flagella sticking out of its backside. It doesn't form colonies, absorbs nutrients by simple diffusion, and moves by whipping its flagella about. Amoeba change shapes constantly and move by using pseudopods, or temporary extensions of the cytoplasm, to crawl about (thus they have no real need for cilia or flagella). They also use said pseudopods to engulf particles for digestion. Volvox is a colonial organism that demonstrates some degree of cellular differentiation. The non-reproductive cells resemble non-colonial Chlamydomonas, and they are arranged in a sphere with their flagella pointing outwards. The whole colony beats its flagella in synchrony to move towards light or nutrient sources, which it then funnels to the reproductive cells.
