PROTISTS & FUNGI Lecture 2
Euglenoids • Free-living, flagellated cells. • Found in fresh water, stagnant ponds and lakes. • Have a long flagellum, contractile vacuole, pellicle. • Contractile vacuole-expels excess water from the cell body. • Majority are photoautotrophs • Few are heterotrophs (feeding on dissolved organic compounds, bacteria/eukaryotes)
