Organelles that collect excess water inside the cell and force water out are called?
The organelles that collect excess water inside the cell and force it out are called contractile vacuoles. It is primarily involved in osmoregulation and is usually found in protists and unicellular algae.
Where contractile vacuoles are located in amoeba?
contractile vacuoles merge with the cell membrane..
Some protozoans have special organelles called contractile vacuoles that continually eliminate excess water from the cell The presence of these organelles tells you that the environment?
Is hypotonic to the protozoan
Are contractile vacuoles found in animal or plant cells?
Contractile vacuoles are found in plant cells.
What do contractile vacuoles protists do?
Contractile vacuoles in protists collect water and then expel it when they become full.
Does amoeba have contractile vacuole?
No they do not have contractile vacuoles.
How do contractile vacuoles help maintain balance?
By contracting rhythmically, this specialized vacuole pumps excess water out of the cell. That helps them maintain water balance.
What vacuoles rid cells of extra water?
Contractile Vacuoles
How are contractile vacuoles different then types of vacuoles?
Contractile vacuoles are formed when a food particle is engulfed. Their size depends on the size of food particle. They are not predefined. Other vacoules are predefined and exist whether the food particles are present in them or not.
Where does a protist with contractile vacuoles live?
Contractile vacuoles in protists collect water and then expel it when they become full.
How does osmoregulation occur in unicellular organisms?
Osmoregulation in unicellular organisms is by active transport. For example in Paramecium - osmoregulation is done by organelles called contractile vacuoles. These contractile vacuoles are spherical shaped structures surrounded by a series of radiating ducts. These ducts collect water and pump it into the central area by means of contractile fibres that contract and force the water into the center. When the vacuoles are full the unicellular organism contracts forcing the water outside the cell.
What does a contractile vacuole?
They are organelles that collect excess water inside the cell and force the water out of the cell.contractile vacuoles are used in animal cells to remove the excess water
