Document Summary

It has a chloroplast like a plant, it is using light as a source of energy: pigments present from chloroplast, that drive metabolic reactions. It also uses light in its eyespot, to sense its environment: however, eyespot has nothing to do with photosynthesis despite it being in the chloroplast, the chloroplast is a source of energy. What is a genome: the haploid set of chromosomes in a gamete or microorganism, complete set of genetic material present in a cell. Genome in chlamydomonas: 3 genomes, there is a chloroplast genome. It is a model system because it is easy to grow: the very dark green means there are lots of chlamydomnas growing. Phototaxis*: the eyespot controls phototaxis, chlamy has flagella, so it can swim towards or away from the light source. If its swims towards, it is called positive phototaxis. If i study a mutant, i can look at the genome and compare it to a wild type.
