2. Euglena possess a contractile vacuole, an eyespot, and one or two flagella.
3. Because they contain a considerable amount of carotenoid pigments, certain species (e.g., E. rubra) look red in the sunshine.
4. Food is usually stored as paramylon granules, a complex carbohydrate that enables organisms to flourish in low-light conditions.
