HELP INDEX NEXT UP PREVIOUS FEEDBACK ATG Euglena

Euglena Euglenophytes are tiny single cells that swim about in ponds and puddles using one or more whip-like flagella attached to the front end of the cell. Some have an eye spot that is sensitive to light and they resemble tiny animals feeding on organic matter in their environment. However, many species are bright green with chlorophyll and they make their own food just as plants do. Little swimming cells of Euglena and Astasia are alike in every way except that Euglena contains chloroplasts and Astasia does not. In the world of tiny organisms there is no real dividing line between plant-like and animal-like Protists. [CH] {EB}
