What are the features on euglena?

The Euglena is a spindle-shaped organism. Each organism has a single anterior flagellum attached to it. A shape-sustaining pellicle covers the body of the euglena. A small gullet enlarges into a reservoir which resembles a human mouth at the anterior end. Although the reservoir looks like a mouth, it is thought that euglenas probably do not ingest food through thus. A small, red, light-sensitive eyespot is located near the reservoir. A large nucleolus is incased inside a small nucleus. It is a single celled organism.The euglena has a contractile vacuole, like most protist, which has the job of maintain organism's water balance by expelling excess water from the cytoplasm into the reservoir.
