Best Answer

Euglena lacks a cell wall (an outer membrane containing cellulose). Instead, it has apellicle made up of a protein layer supported by a substructure of microtubules, arranged in strips spiraling around the cell. The action of these pellicle strips sliding over one another gives Euglena its exceptional flexibility and contractility.[11]
