Which to organisms contain chloroplast and eyespots?

Chloroplasts and eyespots are primarily found in certain protists, such as Euglena and various types of green algae. Euglena is a unicellular organism that contains chloroplasts for photosynthesis while also possessing an eyespot (stigma) that helps it detect light. Green algae, like Chlamydomonas, also have chloroplasts and eyespots, allowing them to perform photosynthesis and navigate toward light sources.


Organelles found in algae but not found in protozoa or fungi?

Flagella, pyrenoids, chloroplasts, and eyespots are organelles commonly found in algae but typically absent in protozoa or fungi.


Why don't the paramecium and amoeba not have eyespots?

Paramecium and amoeba do not have eyespots because they rely on different mechanisms for sensing their environment. While eyespots are typically used by some single-celled organisms, like certain algae, to detect light and navigate towards or away from it, paramecium and amoeba primarily use their cilia and pseudopodia, respectively, to respond to chemical gradients and physical stimuli. Their locomotion and feeding strategies are adapted to their environments, making specialized light-sensing structures unnecessary. Instead, they are more focused on their ability to move and capture food based on chemical cues.


Do plant cells have eyespots?

No, plant cells do not have eyespots. Eyespots are present in certain unicellular organisms like Euglena, serving as light-sensing organelles to help them move towards light sources. Plants do not require eyespots as they rely on other mechanisms for responding to light.

Why is a cuticle a useful adaptation in plant but not in a algae?

Cuticle is a useful adaptation in plants but not algae because plants need a way to retain water and algae obtains water and other materials directly from the water around them.

What is locted at the tip of each ray of a starfish?

Eyespots are located at the tip of each ray on a starfish. A Starfish can only discern light and dark with it's eyespots.
