Explanation

Euglena uses a flagellum attached at its anterior end to move. The flagellum beats backward to push the organism forward, not forward to move it backward. Additionally, myonemes help change the direction by contracting from the front to the rear. Therefore, the statement about the flagellum beating forward to move the organism backward is incorrect.
