because it absoreds red light hahaha
so it can find the brightest part of its environment it is not a true eye like ours all it does is detect 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.
Euglena is a plant-like protist that has an eye spot called a stigma, which helps it to detect light. This allows Euglena to move towards light for photosynthesis and to avoid bright sunlight that can be harmful.
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 are unicellular organisms, commonly identified by having two flagella and a photoreceptor called and eyespot. Most have chloroplasts, but not all. Euglena's plasma membrane is surrounded by a flexible layer known as the pelicle which can flex to allow for movement.

Euglena also have an eyespot at the anterior end that detects light, it can be seen near the reservoir. This helps the euglena find bright areas to gather sunlight to make their food. The color of the eyespot is red.
A sensory structure, called a stigma, is crucial for the euglena to detect light intensity and direction, allowing it to move towards light for photosynthesis. This phototaxis behavior helps the euglena optimize its energy production.
In Euglena, the locomotary organ is the flagellum. The flagellum is a whip-like structure that helps the organism move by beating in a wave-like motion. It also helps in the detection of light and movement towards light sources.
"The eye spot is a photo receptor. It alerts the Euglena to the presence of light. The chloroplast uses light to carry on photosynthesis. While the Euglena is in the presence of light it is making food. The Euglena also can eat food like other Protists if there is no light." quoted by ATP-Man (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080114172048AAK4szq)
Yes, light sensitivity in euglena is provided by the eyespot.
The parameceum can reproduce asexually and sexuallly while the other can only do it asexually. they have diifferent structures and the euglena has a flagellum while the paramecium has cilia and they eat differently. The paremecium uses the cilia to get a water current going and the food gets sucked in, and the euglena uses photosynethesis by using its stigma to indicate areas of light and if not then it will just get food like the other.
it moves towards the light
