Biological Classificationย Figure-Based Questionsย for NEET

Q.1. Consider the given figure and answer the following questions.

Figure Based Question

(a) Identify A, B, C, and D in the given figure.
(b) What are the functions of A and B?
(c) What will happen if this organism is allowed to grow in dark?

A.1.ย (a) The given figure is of Euglena. Here, A is Cytostome, B is Stigma, C is Paramylum bodies and D is Chloroplast.

(b) The cytostome (A) is an eccentric mouth part at the apical end of the organism. It leads to a tubular canal, called cytopharynx which expands at the base to form a large rounded reservoir. At the end of the reservoir, the cytoplasm contains an orange red stigma or eye spot. It is photosensitive. It contains red pigment astaxanthin. Paraflagellar body and eye spot together help in directing the organism towards the optimum light.

(c) The nutrition in Euglena, is holophytic (photoautotrophic) or (saprobic). When it is allowed to grow in dark, the photosynthetic form can feed on organic remains. Such mode of nutrition is known as mixotrophic.
