There are two copies of each autosome (chromosomes 1-22) in both females and males. The sex chromosomes are different: There are two copies of the X-chromosome in females, but males have a single X-chromosome and a Y-chromosome.
Euglena move by a flagellum (plural â flagella), which is a long whip-like structure that acts like a little motor. The flagellum is located on the front end, and twirls in such a way as to pull the cell through the water. Color the reservoir grey and the flagellum black. Chloroplasts within the Euglena trap sunlight that is used for photosynthesis, and can be seen as several rod-like structures throughout the cell.
Euglena are small organisms in the Protist Kingdom. Euglena gracilis is just one of many species of Euglena. They do not have common names like birds or trees, so we have to refer to them by their scientific name. Euglena are interesting because they are a sort of combination of plant and animal.hese green parts inside the Euglena's body are called chloroplasts. A euglena's body is only one cell, so they are very small and you must use a microscope to see them. Sometimes, since they live in water, if there are millions of euglena together, they form a mat on the surface of a pond or marsh that you can see.
