Euglena are a rich source of provitamins, dietary proteins, astaxanthin, lipids and paramylon (êžµ-1, 3 glucans). They are known to stimulate the... View Article
The life cycle of a protozoan alternates between the proliferative phase and cyst stage. They reproduce asexually by binary fission or multiple... View Article
Euglena are not plant cells even after having chloroplasts. They lack a cell wall and they behave as heterotrophs in the absence of sunlight.... View Article
Euglena moves towards the light, i.e. phototaxis due to the presence of photoreceptors in the eyespot, which detects the light. Also Check:... View Article
Slime moulds are saprophytic protists. The aggregation of cells is known as plasmodium. They form spores under unfavourable conditions, which can... View Article
