The red despot on the euglena is important for detecting light for photosynthesis and filters the sunlight to only allow certain wavelengths of light to a structure at the base of the flagellum

Answer:

C. Detecting light for photosynthesis.

Explanation:

An Euglena is a protozoan. It has an single cell which makes it a unicellular organism. It is also has a well defined nucleus with membrane bound organelles which makes the Euglena eukaryotic in nature.

An Euglena possesses both human and plant like traits. Its human trait is that an Euglena moves with the aid of a flagella. Its plant like trait is that an Euglena has chloroplast present as one of its membrane bound organelles which its uses for photosynthesis.

Due to the presence of animal and plant like traits in an Euglena, and Euglena is both autotrophic and heterotrophic in nature.

One of the organelles present in the Euglena is its eyespot. This is a very important organelle because the Euglena uses the eyespot to detect sunlight for the process of photosynthesis. The chloroplast then traps this detected light for photosynthesis.

The phospholipid bilayer of the cell membrane is both hydrophobic and hydrophilic. Why is this important to the function of the
svetlana [45]

The cell membrane separates the intracellular environment from the extracellular environment outside of the cell. A phospholipid is composed of a phosphate group and a lipid. It is composed of a hydrophilic, polar phosphate head and two hydrophobic fatty acid tails.


The structure of the bilayer is such that the tails are shielded from contact with water, creating a selectively-permeable barrier which will be impermeable to most hydrophilic molecules.


So, the answer is A) To maintain balance of water and nutrients in the cell.

blagie [28]

Answer:

DNA profile.

Explanation:

DNA fingerprinting may be defined as a technique  used to determine the individuality of the individual basis on the unique DNA sequences. DNA fingerprinting is used to find the criminals.

The agarose gel electrophoresis is used to visualize the DNA sequences of the individual. The short tandem repeats are involved in identifying the unique sequences. The picture contains STRs in a suspect's DNA and STRs in the perpetrator's DNA. The picture shows the DNA profile of the perpetrator and suspect.

Thus, the answer is DNA profile.
