How do protozoans pump out water?
I'm not sure about other Protozoans but Paramecium, a freshwater ciliate, pumps out excess water with it's Contractile Vacuoles.
Which organism normally uses contractile vacuole to help maintain water balance?
Protists, in general, and the paramecium in particular. These filament surrounded vacuoles, powered by motor proteins and ATP, allow the paramecium to exist in hypotonic conditions by sloughing off the water entering the cell and avoiding cell lysis.
What prefix would you add to lysis to mean separate or split using water?

What is the smallest aniamal?
Plankton are very small, microscopic plants and animals. They have little or no power of locomotion and float in surface waters. They are found in fresh and salt water. Planktonic animals include protozoans. While they are often referred to as one-celled animals, they have characteristics found in both plants and animals. Most protozoans cannot be seen without a microscope. There are about 30,000 species of protozoans that have been identified so far!
Where did leeuwenhoek find animalcules?
He saw them in a drop of water.
What is the difference between lysis and plasmolysis?
When a cell is placed in a hypotonic solution, water will enter the cell. This is called lysis. When a cell is placed in a hypertonic solution, water will leave the cell (causing it to shrink). This is called plasmolysis.
What are a few harmful effects of protozoans?
There are a few harmful effects of protozoans. They can pollute water, reduce the fertility of soil, and destroy the habitats of plants and animals.
