Answer:
Explanation:
Pellicle: A thin, flexible membrane that supports the plasma membrane and helps them to change shape
Plasma Membrane: The selectively permeable membrane that protects the inner content of the cell from the outside environment
Cytoplasm: A jelly-like substance distributed throughout the cell that contains all the cell organelles
Chloroplast: Contains the green pigment chlorophyll that helps them to produce food using sunlight by photosynthesis
Nucleus: A membrane-bound organelle that contains the genetic material, DNA. It also contains a distinct nucleolus that contains RNA and helps the cell to synthesize proteins
Mitochondria: The energy-producing organelle that forms ATP. All cellular activities such as movement and reproduction are performed using the mitochondrial energy source
Ribosomes: Consists of RNA and proteins, and are responsible for producing all cellular proteins
Golgi Apparatus: Manufactures, stores, and transports large molecules such as carbohydrates and proteins within the cell
Endoplasmic Reticulum: The extensive network of membranes that helps to package and transport proteins to different organelles. It is of two types: rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) – containing ribosomes attached to it; and smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER) – devoid of ribosomes
Lysosomes: Small membrane-bound organelles filled with hydrolytic enzymes that break down large molecules such as carbohydrates, fats, and proteins
Contractile Vacuole: It maintains the water and salt balance within the cell
Reservoir: The inward pocket present near the base of the flagella where contractile vacuole dispels excess water
Flagellum: A long whip-like structure attached externally to the cell body that helps in cell movement. An amoeba contains two flagella, a short one that does not protrude out of the cell, and a long one that helps in swimming
Eyespot: A region that is highly colored and contains red-colored carotenoid pigments that help in the detection of light. It is sometimes called a stigma
Photoreceptor: Also known as the paraflagellar body, it is the light-sensitive region located near the flagellum that helps to detect light. It also helps in their movement towards and away from light stimuli, a process known as phototaxis
Paramylon: They are stored starch-like carbohydrate granules composed of glucose produced during photosynthesis. Paramylon enables the organism to survive in low-light conditions when photosynthesis is not possible by acting as the food reserve for the cell. When the paramylon is enclosed in a sheath of polysaccharide, it is called the paramylon sheath of pyrenoid.
Euglena are unicellular organisms classified into the Kingdom Protista, and the Phylum Euglenophyta. All euglena have chloroplasts and can make their own food by photosynthesis. ... The Euglena is unique in that it is both heterotrophic (must consume food) and autotrophic (can make its own food).
