Want this question answered?
Some ciliates, like the paramecium, have contractile vacuoles that fill with water and then expel the water when they get full.
well osmosis is taking in water so maby if you reverse it and take out all the excess water they got from being in the water
If I remember correctly the vacuole gets rid of excess water assuring cells wont burst.
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
OSMOSIS More specifically: Endosmosis is the movement of water into a cell Exosmosis is the movement of water out of a cell

Osmosis.

Reverse osmosis water filter systems filter water safely by forcing water through a membrane by means of pressure. This ensures that only water is removed from tap water, and all the excess minerals are filtered out.

Lobsters are designed to live in a salt water solution. This affects the very cells that they are made of. If they are placed in fresh water for enough time the cells will swell and possibly even rupture. This is due to an influx of water through osmosis.
The contractile vacuole removes the excess water that enters the organism through osmosis (passive transport doest not require ATP) down a concentration gradient. Because the water is more concentrated on the outside of the organism in the fresh water of its habitat the water enters the organism by osmosis. The water on the outside is hypertonic and the water on the inside of the organism is hypotonic. The contractile Vacuole acts as a pump to remove and excess water without this the cell would burst from to much excess water.
the sarcodines move with a type of locomotion thats know as amoeboid movement and ciliates propel rapidly through the water
Osmosis is the name of the process of diffusion involving water.
This is the process of osmosis. The membrane allows a solvent (usually water) to move from an area with lower solute concentration to one with greater concentration.
