An eyespot allows an autotroph to detect light so that it can move into a well-lit area where it can carry out photosynthesis
The eye spot is so important because it is the only way the eugleniod (euglena) can "see" because it senses light.

Eyespot skate was created in 1903.
By moving their flagellum (twirling it) or by their eyespot. The eyespot goes wherever there is sunlight.
Yes
Yes, light sensitivity in euglena is provided by the eyespot.
Euglena
euglena
euglena
A protist's eyespot is a pigmented organelle that is sensitive to light, allowing the protist to move towards the light for feeding/photosynthesis.
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.

I think its the eyespot.
