What is "euglena"?
Euglena is a single-celled protist characterized by its unique features. It possesses a whip-like tail called a flagellum that enables it to move through the water. Euglena can perform photosynthesis, utilizing sunlight to produce energy. Euglena serves ecological roles in aquatic environments and contributes to the overall balance of ecosystems. To observe euglena, water samples can be collected and examined under a microscope, revealing their structure and behaviors.
Example
Euglena serves as a primary producer, contributing to the food chain in aquatic ecosystems.
Under the microscope, I observed euglena gracefully swimming with its flagellum.
