Euglena is green in color because of the chlorophyll that is contained in the chloroplast of that organism and the body structure that is located at its base is known as flagellum .

Explanation:

Euglena are species that are found in the fresh and salt water. They are abundantly found in inland waters where they manage themselves to bloom in large amount and color the water surface of ditches and ponds green.

This green color which them form are mainly due to the chlorophyll that is contained in the chloroplast of the organism. chlorophyll is known to be the pigment that is responsible for the green color.It is the cause for the green color in this case too.

Euglena contains a specialized body structure which is located at the base of the tail by which it manages to move.

This specialized structure is known as Flagellum.

Answer:

Euglena is green because it contains chloroplasts. The structure located at the base of the tail (the flagellum) is called the photoreceptor. The photoreceptor detects light, while the chloroplasts produces sugars through photosynthesis.

Why is algae classified in the Protist Kingdom and not the Plant Kingdom even though they are photosynthetic? Research why some
KengaRu [80]
Algae are photosynthetic, but they are also unicellular organisms (Euglena) and shares some of the common features with plants as well as animals. They move like animals and perform photosynthesis like plants. Therefore, they are classified into Protists, and not the Algae. Their most features resemble the non-photosynthetic protozoa, and not plants, and therefore, are put into the Protista. 
They also lack a cell wall, which is a feature of plants.
Some scientists advocate their classification in plants because of their sexual mode of reproductiona, and formation of spores.

Is the stroma involved in the Calvin cycle?
VladimirAG [237]
Yes it does because in plants carbon dioxide enters the chloroplasts through the stormata and diffuses into the storma of the chloroplast the site of the Calvin cycle.

How do heterotrophs get their source of glucose?
Zolol [24]

Answer:

By consuming plants and animals.

Explanation:

Since plants are autotrophs, they absorb the sun's energy through photosynthesis and make glucose. herbivores (plant eating heterotrophs) then consume these plants and gain energy from the glucose and further up the food chain carnivores consume herbivores and also gain a bit of glucose from them.
