SMALL PIGMENTED ORGANELLE USED IN SINGLE-CELLED ORGANISMS TO DETECT LIGHT
Photoreceptors, microbial
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), or away from it (negative phototaxis).
