The euglena has a stiff pellicle outside the cell membrane that helps it keep its shape, though the pellicle is somewhat flexible and some euglena can be observed scrunching up and moving in an inchworm type fashion.

The cytoplasm of Euglena and other euglenoids contains many paramylon starch storage granules. The euglenoid cells are covered by a pellicle composed of ribbonlike, woven strips of proteinaceous material that cover the cell in a helical arrangement from apex to posterior.

Biology question: What are the functions of the Euglena Cell? It is able to get energy from the sun like a animal like protist and can make it's own food like a plantlike protist so it is both a animal ... What are the functions of euglena? Does an euglena cell produce sugar? Where thas the euglena go on the cell?

An interesting flagellated protist to study is Euglena. Some of its many features are shown here. ... Many species have a beautiful textured armor made of cellulose plates. One of their two flagella runs as a spiral through a groove along the cell. The other projects downwards. A spectacular species is Ceratium hirundinella...

Populations of Euglena gracilis in exponential growth under light were exposed to 2.5, 5.0, 7.5, and 10 ppm of Aroclor 1221. With Aroclor 1242, no inhibition of growth was observed with up to 100 ppm exposure. ... Accession Number : ADA033900 ... Corporate Author : ARMED FORCES RADIOBIOLOGY RESEARCH INST BETHESDA MD...

Euglena cell shape (Lonergan, 1983). One of the predominant approaches to the study of the clock-controlled shape change is the exposure of cells to various chemical and physical treatments that alter the physiology or morphology (e.g. the cytoskeleton) of the cells.
