The flagellum whips back and forth and propels the Euglena.
Imagine the flagellum to be something like a flag and it just keeps waving allowing the organism to move.
Or, you can also imagine the way butterfly stroke is performed in swimming. The flagellum moves in that way and propels the Euglena.

Euglena move with a whip-like extension what is the extenision called?
Euglena move with a whip-like extension called a flagella. The flagella allows the euglena to move around. Only one celled organisms have a flagella.
Describe the movement of a euglena?
Moves with the help of a whip like Flagellum
Why does euglena have tail like structure?
The Euglena are unicellular organisms with flagella. These flagella are long whip-like tailsused for movement
How does euglena get around?
Euglena gets around with a small whip-like structure called a flagellum
How does a euglena use to move?
Euglena are flagellated unicellular organisms, so they move by beating their flagella.... somewhat like a tadpole.

How do euglena move?
Euglena uses their two whip like tails called flagellum. The longer flagellum spins i a pattern that will pull the organism rapidly through the water. When the flagella are not being used they move into the gullet.
What is the locomotion of a Euglena?
The Euglena cell uses it's flagellum, which is like a tail that comes out from the back end of the cell, and whips it to move around through the water. Sometimes, the flagellum doesn't whip all at once and in the same movement, causing it to spiral as it moves in the general direction that it wants to.
A protozoan that moves by lashing one or more of its whiplike parts is a?
Euglena, which is a genus of unicellular flagellate protists.
How does a bullwhip make sound?
A bullwhip works like an extension of a human hand to speed the thinner-half of the whip and then rapidly change the direction of movement. When the change occurs, the tip of the whip actually breaks the sound barrier and makes the crack! of the whip.
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.
What is the economic importance of euglena?
Euglena is a micro organism, so it economic importance is contradicting because it is sometimes heterotrophy (like animals) and autrotrophy (like plant). It contain chlorophyll for food production to plants in water and it has some carotenoid pigments thats produces sugers by photosynthesis and in turn produces oxygen
