Questions

An organelle called Eyespot allows some protists to detect light. It allows the cells to sense light direction and intensity and respond to it by swimming either towards the light (positive phototaxis) or away from the light (negative phototaxis).

Eyespot is a photoreceptive organelle found in the flagellate or (motile) cells of green algae and other unicellular photosynthetic organisms such as euglenids.

Eyespot-mediated light perception helps the cells in finding an environment with optimal light conditions for photosynthesis. Eyespots are the simplest and most common "eyes" found in nature, composed of photoreceptors and areas of bright orange-red pigment granules.

They are the sites at which microtubules attach to chromosomes.

Membrane bound organelles are not found in the cells of Prokaryotes whereas Eukaryotes have nucleus and membrane bound organelles.

For example : Bacteria is prokaryotic organism with lack of nucleus and membrane bound organelles whereas fungi is a eukaryotic with nucleus and membrane bound organelles.
