Colorless Euglenoids: Structure and Function (and Food)

The video explores the relationship between structure and function in biology, using euglenoids as a case study. It discusses how structural traits influence the function and behavior of organisms, highlighting the evolutionary paths and feeding mechanisms of euglenoids. The video emphasizes the importance of structure-function linkage across biological levels, from cellular to organismal, and how these adaptations have evolved over time.

Discuss the evolutionary trajectory of euglenoids based on their dietary habits.

What role does the feeding apparatus play in the survival of certain euglenoids?

How do structural differences affect the motility of euglenoids?

How does the concept of structure and function apply to the design of organisms?
