Why do you gunuflect as Catholics?
We genuflect in the presence of Jesus at the tabernacle, or before the sacred host when exposed, as Catholics believe this is the real presence of Jesus. Catholics bow in front of the altar, since it a consecrated sign of Jesus,but genuflect when Jesus is present there in the bread and wine, or at the tabernacle, where the body of Jesus in the form of bread is kept for distribution to the sick.
Why is the blessed sacrament covered during a catholic mass?
It is during the offering up in the Catholic Mass by the priest that the bread and wine are consecrated with the repeated words of Jesus Christ at the Last Supper,"This is My Body;This is My Blood" thereby making Jesus Christ present on the altar Body,Blood Soul and Divinity in the consecrated hosts and the Chalice filled with now consecrated wine which is the Blood of Christ. The "reserved Eucharist" you speak of is the consecrated species from other Masses offered by the priest. The Church always has extra consecrated host (not wine) in the Tabernacle saved for the sick and in the event there are more in attendance at the specific Mass then the priest has consecrated. Because the species in the tabernacle is already the Body and Blood of Christ and in respect to what already" is" and what is "about to be" consecrated, the Eucharist (Blessed Sacrament) is covered and held in a secure place called the Tabernacle.
Where on the altar does the priest store the consecrated Body of Jesus?
Consecrated Hosts are stored in a locked Tabernacle, not on the altar. The Tabernacle may be located immediately behind the main altar or on its own pedestal in the Church, non on the altar.

What do you call the red light near the tabernacle?
I believe you are speaking of the "red light" in Roman Catholic churches. The "red light" is called the "sanctuary light." Its purpose is to let people know if the "Blessed Sacrament," that is, communion bread and/or wine, that has been consecrated during the Mass, and is believed by Roman Catholics to be the Body and Blood of Christ, is actually present inside the Tabernacle. If the light is on, the "Blessed Sacrament" is present inside the Tabernacle; if the light is off, the "Blessed Sacrament" is not present inside the Tabernacle.
