Image of euglenas

Description:

This image of Euglena, collected from Beaver Lake, emphasizes the disk- shaped chloroplasts. The front of the cell is to the left. The light area is called the reservoir. Adjacent to this region is the red eyespot that helps to control the direction in which the cells move. The granular region in the center of the cell is the nucleus.
