Скачать или смотреть Euglena

Euglena is a single-celled organism that lives in water. It is unique because it can act like both a plant and an animal. Euglena has chloroplasts that let it make food from sunlight, like plants do. But it can also absorb food from its surroundings when there is no light, like animals. It moves using a whip-like tail called a flagellum and has a red eyespot to detect light. Its flexible outer layer, called a pellicle, helps it change shape. It stores energy in a substance called paramylon. Scientists study Euglena to learn about biology and explore its potential uses in food and fuel production.
