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)

What characteristic of the pellicle makes Euglena different from true plants?
A pellicle is the membrane that envelops a euglena. An euglena is best known and most widely studied member of the phylum Euglenophyta.
How would the lack of leaves help cacti survive?
The cactus plant has chloroplasts in its body that make energy in the same way a leaf does.
Why do only plant cells have chloroplasts?
Only plant cells contain chloroplasts because they are used to help make food for the plant. Chloroplasts are used in the photosynthesis process.
How did forming larger communities help people survive?
they all hunted together which gave them more food
Which organelle help provide cells with energy?
mitochondria and chloroplasts
Are euglena free living or parasitic?
Free Living
What characteristic of the pellicle makes Euglena different from true plants?
A pellicle is the membrane that envelops a euglena. An euglena is best known and most widely studied member of the phylum Euglenophyta.
How do euglena obtain their food?
Euglena gets its nutrition from the chloroplasts inside of it. It may be a multicellular organism but it is VERY VERY tiny and the one way it gets glucose, the essential thing all organisms need, is by photosynthesis in its chloroplasts. How the process works is by this chemical equation:H2O + sunlight + CO2 = O2 + C6H12O6Simply put, this is water + sunlight + carbon dioxide = oxygen & glucoseI hope this answers your question!
What is the light sensing organ in Euglena?
actually there is eye spot in Euglena which help it in the detection of light
What does the eyspot do?
help the euglena find light.
How would the lack of leaves help cacti survive?
The cactus plant has chloroplasts in its body that make energy in the same way a leaf does.
Do euglenas have chloroplasts?
to help with photosynthesis
Describe the movement of a euglena?
Moves with the help of a whip like Flagellum
Which organisms contain chloroplasts to help with food production?
it is about green plants. They contain chloroplasts for photosynthesis.
How does the green pigment in chloroplasts help the cells to function?
The green pigments in chloroplasts help the plant to photosynthesise (make food from the sun)
How does a euglena use to move?
Euglena are flagellated unicellular organisms, so they move by beating their flagella.... somewhat like a tadpole.
What do chloroplasts take in to help photosynithesis?
I am pretty sure that the chloroplasts have to take in carbon dioxide to have photosynthesis.
