Water is pumped out of the cell through the contractile vacuole.
well, you shove it up your but hole
through the contractile vacuole
Because salt water go's throught them instead of inside them so they dont kneed to expel salt water
Usually, the paramecium used in a study like this are freshwater. Because the water inside the paramecium has a lower salt concentration, it moves out and shrivels the paramecium up, drying it out.
The paramecium would eventually die because the paramecium wouldn't get any water and without the water-expelling vesicle the paramecium can't get the water out without getting other bacterias while doing so.
Water is constantly coming down it's concentrations gradient and osmotically entering the paramecium's cell. The cell would soon burst if there were not a way to offload much of this water, so contractile vacuoles do this job for the paramecium.
protista :)
Some ciliates, like the paramecium, have contractile vacuoles that fill with water and then expel the water when they get full.

the paramecium lives in pond water and creeks sometimes.

The activity of the contractile vacoule would decrease. While in the hypotonic solution, water was moving into the paramecium because it had a higher solute concentration that the solution that it was in and water follows solute. So, the isotonic solution would contain the same solute concentration as the paramecium so there would be no net water movement. Therefore, the contractile vacoule would decrease in its activity because there would be no water entering or exiting the paramecium.
These are fresh water protists. Lakes, streams and ponds would harbor paramecium and amoebae.
Paramecium have anal pores that emit waste into surrounding water. *HOped this helped!* LOL~ XD
If a paramecium did not have a contractile vacuole or it did not work it would fill with water and lyse.
