There eye spot
They use a flagellum.

The scientific name for euglena is Euglena.
Euglena
Euglena are flagellated unicellular organisms, so they move by beating their flagella.... somewhat like a tadpole.
This is a euglena, a type of protist. I have never heard of a euglena oval but under a microscope, euglena have an oval shape within them.
Euglena are not bacteria.
euglena does indeed have chrlorplasts.
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.
Euglena is a genus. So Euglena has (or includes) species. Remember the order? Domain, Kingdom, ...... genus, species.
