Draw a neat labeled diagram of Euglena.

To draw a neat labeled diagram of Euglena, you need to include the following key features and label them properly.

Components to Label:

• Flagellum: A whip-like structure used for movement.
• Pellicle: A flexible outer covering that maintains the shape of Euglena.
• Cytoplasm: The gel-like substance inside the cell.
• Nucleus: The control center of the cell containing genetic material.
• Contractile Vacuole: Helps in osmoregulation (water balance).
• Chloroplasts: Contain chlorophyll for photosynthesis, giving Euglena its green color.
• Stigma (Eyespot): Detects light to help Euglena move toward light (phototaxis).
• Reservoir: An inward pocket from where the flagellum emerges.
• Paramylon Granules: Store energy in the form of carbohydrates.

How to Draw:

1. Start with an elongated oval shape for the body.
2. Add a whip-like flagellum extending from one end.
3. Draw the pellicle around the body as a thin outer layer.
4. Include the nucleus centrally.
5. Add chloroplasts (oval structures) throughout the body.
6. Place a small circular stigma near the base of the flagellum.
7. Include a round contractile vacuole near the reservoir.
8. Add paramylon granules as small dots near the cytoplasm.
