The common name is Euglena, and the scientific name is Euglena Pisciformis.
Everything we both have blue eyes ~adrienne
They are both oval shaped, and both move fast.
The membrane that covers a euglena is called a pellicle. It is a flexible outer covering that helps maintain the euglena's shape and allows it to move in a characteristic spiraling motion.
Yes, Euglena is a commonly known example of a flagellate organism. This single-celled protist has a whip-like tail, called a flagellum, that it uses for movement. Euglena is unique because it can photosynthesize like a plant in the presence of light, but can also become heterotrophic in the absence of light.
euglena does indeed have chrlorplasts.
The common name of Euglena gracilis is "euglena."
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 gracilis
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.
phyllum-Euglenozoa
Euglena is a common protist that possesses an eyespot, also known as a stigma. This eyespot allows Euglena to detect light and move towards it, aiding in its photosynthetic process.

They both live in water, and they are both single celled (protists).
