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.

Match each lipid with its correct components or description.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

(1) glycerophospholipids ⟶ (C) lipids with phosphate-containing head groups

(2) cerebrosides ⟶ (D) fatty acid linked through an amide bond to the sphingosine C(2)-amine

(3) gangliosides ⟶ (B) anionic sphingolipids containing one or more sialic acid residues

(4) sphingolipids ⟶ (A) built on sphingosine

Explanation:

1) Choline (Fig. 1) is a glycerophospholipid. It is a glycerol-based lipid with a phosphate-containing head group.

(2) Galactosylceramide (Fig. 2) is a cerebroside. It contains a fatty acid linked through an amide bond to the sphingosine C(2)-amine

(3) Gangliosides are glycosphingolipids that contain sialic acid. GQ1b (Fig. 3) is one of the most abundant gangliosides in the human brain. The carboxyl group of the sialic acid is in the ionic form.

(4) Sphingomyelin (Fig. 4) is a sphingolipid. It is based on sphingosine, with a phosphocholine head and a fatty acid chain.
