The glyoxylate cycle operates at a high level in Euglena gracilis when acetate is the only carbon source, and at a low level when glucose is the only carbon source, as indicated by activities of malate synthase. Altho glucose causes a moderate repression of some of the enzymes of the glyoxylate cycle, it neither represses nor inhibits malate synthase. The specific activity of the malic enzyme was about 5-fold greater in acetate-grown Euglena than in glucose-grown cells, but the absolute rate of CO2 fixation was about twice as great in cells grown on glucose. The respiratory quotient was unity regardless of substrate.
euglena does indeed have chrlorplasts.
Euglena is an algae.Chloroplasts are present in them.
the euglena is a producer mostly because its green.
There are two main types of Euglena: autotrophic Euglena that can photosynthesize and heterotrophic Euglena that must ingest food particles to survive. Autotrophic Euglena have chloroplasts and can produce their own food through photosynthesis, while heterotrophic Euglena do not have chloroplasts and rely on absorbing nutrients from their environment.
Euglena is a genus. So Euglena has (or includes) species. Remember the order? Domain, Kingdom, ...... genus, species.
Euglena gracilis
The common name of Euglena gracilis is "euglena."
euglena does indeed have chrlorplasts.
Euglena are not bacteria.
Euglena is an algae.Chloroplasts are present in them.
Euglena is actually the genus name as well as the common name for this organism. Finding the exact species is difficult, because the genus Euglena has dozens of species in it.See the Related Links for more information about the genus Euglena as well as a list of the species in this genus.
Euglena reproudces asexually not sexually
Euglena have flagella that provides them with locomotion.
the euglena is a producer mostly because its green.
bcoz euglena are unicellular organism .all euglena are chloroplast and can make their own foodby photosynthesis.
The scientific name for euglena is Euglena gracilis. It is a single-celled, photosynthetic protist that can move by either using its flagellum or contracting its cell body.
There are two main types of Euglena: autotrophic Euglena that can photosynthesize and heterotrophic Euglena that must ingest food particles to survive. Autotrophic Euglena have chloroplasts and can produce their own food through photosynthesis, while heterotrophic Euglena do not have chloroplasts and rely on absorbing nutrients from their environment.
