Chlamydomonas moves using two anterior flagella. These flagella beat in a coordinated manner, propelling the cell through the water. The movement is powered by the sliding microtubule mechanism within the flagella. The organism exhibits phototactic behavior, moving toward or away from light sources, which is mediated by the eyespot.
