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.

What are three different types of vacuoles and what are their functions?
I know of only three types: central vacuole - helps maintain plants' shape and structure by storing water (hypotonic). contractile vacuole - pumps water out of protist cells to maintain a suitable concentration. food vacuole - storage for molecules that is a food source for the cell (phagocytosis).
Organelle that pumps water out of the cell?
The Contractile Vacoule.
What does the vacoule do for a cell?
In plant cells there is 1 large vacuole that acts as the main water source for the plant. In animal cells, there are multiple small vacuoles scattered throughout the plant that act as water sources also.
What cell organelle is associated with ingestion?
Vacuoles are involved in the process of ingestion. Pockets can form along the cell membrane and can pinch in to form vacuoles. The contents of the vacuoles can eventually by digested by lysosomes.
What are the different types of integrated science?
different types bioligy,chemistry&physic
How are contractile vacuoles different from 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 contractile vacuoles are located in amoeba?

Are contractile vacuoles found in animal or 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?

What vacuoles rid cells of extra water?

Where does a protist with contractile vacuoles live?
Contractile vacuoles in protists collect water and then expel it when they become full.
How are the vacuoles from paramecia different from the vacuoles of other organisms?
The paramecium might have a contractile vacuole, whereas cells like animal and plants just have a normal one.
