  1. Euglena Mrs. Wharton’s Science Class

  2. Euglena • Unicellular- Made up of only one cell. • It is a type of Protist • Usually live in ponds or puddles.

  3. How they eat • They are BOTH autotrophic and heterotrophic • Belongs to the Kingdom Protista • Autotrophic- they have chloroplasts and they can make their own food by photosynthesis • Heterotrophic- They can absorb food from their environments.

  4. How Euglenas move • Euglenas use FLAGELLUM – or whip like structures to move. • They are located on the anterior or front end.

  5. Eyespot • Euglenas contain a very unique feature called an eyespot. • The EYESPOT- at the anterior end detect light. • The light helps them gather sunlight so they can make food. This helps them photosynthesize.

  6. How Euglenas Gain Nutrients • Euglena gain nutrients by absorbing them across cell membranes

  7. Nucleus • Contains the cell’s DNA • Controls the cells activities.

  8. Contractile Vacuole • Helps remove excess water from the cell.
