Is the chloroplast found in the euglena?

Euglena is an algae.Chloroplasts are present in them.


How does pollution affect the population growth of euglena?

Pollution affects the growth of euglena by two simple aspects; sunlight and nutrients. The euglena can no longer obtain sunlight through the water if pollution is causing the water to become too polluted for sunlight to break through. Since the euglena can also absorb nutrients through the cell membrane, pollution can contaminate the nutrients that the euglena needs for survival, both ultimately causing the prevention of the euglena from creating or obtaining food.


What is the most important structural difference between algae and euglena?

Euglena can be both heterotroph and autotrophs but algae can be only autotroph. Euglena act like herotroph when sunlight is not available.


How doe a euglena eat?

Euglanas have chloroplasts, to absorb sunlight. If sunlight is not available, it can absorb nutrients from decayed organic material.


What oragnelle carries out photosynthesis?

chloroplasts within the euglena trap sunlight that is userd for photosynthesis.


Describe the two ways in which the euglena get their nutrients?

One way is some euglena depend on sunlight, carbon dioxide, and minerals from the water. The second way is that some euglena feed on absorbing substances.


What is unigue about the euglena?

the euglena is unigue in that is both heterotrophic(must consume food) and autotrophic(can make its own food). -chloroplast within the euglena trap sunlight that is used for photosynthesis, and can be seen as several rod like structures throughout the cell.


How does euglena collect energy?

Most species of Euglena have chloroplasts, which allow them to capture the energy in sunlight and form carbohydrates. However, they are also capable of consuming food to receive energy.


How is euglena similar to plants and animals?

Euglena are unique, they are both heterotrophic (must consume food) and autotrophic (can make its own food). Euglena have chloroplasts that trap sunlight which are used for photosynthesis.


What are two ways that Euglena can move?

By moving their flagellum (twirling it) or by their eyespot. The eyespot goes wherever there is sunlight.


What do the rod like green structures within the Euglena allow the organism to do?

use sunlight to make food
