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.
The euglena's red eyespot is used for?
so it can find the brightest part of its environment it is not a true eye like ours all it does is detect light
What is the light sensing organ in Euglena?
actually there is eye spot in Euglena which help it in the detection of light
What plant like protist has an eye spot to help them detect light?
A euglena.
Is Euglena a phytoplankton?
it is mostly photosynthetic... when it's in the light.... but when in the dark it is heterotrophic.

A euglena.
How do the eye spot and chloroplasts work together to help the euglena survive?
"The eye spot is a photo receptor. It alerts the Euglena to the presence of light. The chloroplast uses light to carry on photosynthesis. While the Euglena is in the presence of light it is making food. The Euglena also can eat food like other Protists if there is no light." quoted by ATP-Man (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080114172048AAK4szq)

Why is a sensory structure so important to the euglena?
Euglena have a primitive organelle called the eyespot which detects light.
Which is a charateristic of a euglena?
Euglena are unicellular organisms, commonly identified by having two flagella and a photoreceptor called and eyespot. Most have chloroplasts, but not all. Euglena's plasma membrane is surrounded by a flexible layer known as the pelicle which can flex to allow for movement.
Light sensitivity in euglena is provided by the eyespot True or False?
Yes, light sensitivity in euglena is provided by the eyespot.
Does an euglena have eye spot?
Euglena also have an eyespot at the anterior end that detects light, it can be seen near the reservoir. This helps the euglena find bright areas to gather sunlight to make their food. The color of the eyespot is red.
How does Euglena react to light?
it moves towards the light
Why is euglena a plant plankton?
It has chloroplast to trap light to enable photosynthesis just like plants
