What is the significance of an eyespot in the cell of Euglena?
To detect light
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.
What does the eyespot do for euglena?
The photoreceptive eyespot allows the organism to orient and swim toward light, whichh is helpful for photosysnthesis. Interesting side note: in Euglena, theree is a dark pigment patch just underneath the eyespot. This means that Euglena is detetcing darkness and swimming away from the dark and thereefore inot the light. Without this pigment patch, the eyespot could not function because the cell body is essentially transparent. I'm not sure if this is the same for Chlamydomonas, but I would expetc so.(From: www.gadgetking.com/trends/eyespot+euglena)
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.

The photoreceptive cells in the Eyespot
