Flagellum helps to propel the body of Euglena is enveloped by a flexible pellicle made of:
Correct answer: C. Proteins
- A. Carbohydrates
- B. Starch & Lipids
- C. Proteins
- D. Lipids
Explanation
In the case of Euglena, the flexible pellicle that envelops its body is primarily made of proteins. These proteins provide structural support, maintain the shape of the organism, and allow for flexibility and movement. The proteins in the pellicle work in coordination with other components, such as the flagellum, to facilitate motion and locomotion in Euglena.
