The eyespot apparatus (or stigma) is a photoreceptive organelle found in the flagellate or (motile) cells of green algae and other unicellular photosynthetic organisms such as euglenids. It allows the cells to sense light direction and intensity and respond to it, prompting the organism to either swim towards the light (positive phototaxis ...
It possesses an eyespot, a small area highly sensitive to light, [41] [42] which triggers the two flagella differently. [43] Those responses are adaptive, on a timescale matched to the rotational period of the cell body, [ 44 ] [ 45 ] [ 46 ] and allow cells to scan the environment and swim toward light. [ 47 ]
Like other euglenoids, Euglena possess a red eyespot, an organelle composed of carotenoid pigment granules. The red spot itself is not thought to be photosensitive. Rather, it filters the sunlight that falls on a light-detecting structure at the base of the flagellum (a swelling, known as the paraflagellar body), allowing only certain ...

The eyespot is located near the cell equator. It is composed of a carotenoid -rich granule layer in the chloroplast which act like a light reflector. [ 6 ] The main function of the eyespot is the phototaxis , which consist of the movement (with the flagella ) related to a light stimulus. [ 7 ]

It's Advent calendar season, and if you haven't picked up your treat for the year, you may have missed your window. Many of the year's best Advent calendars have sold out already, like the Bonne ...
