How does the contractil e vacuole help freshwater organisms survive?
Freshwater protozoan require contractile vacuole to regulate the amount of water in its body /cell because the liquids ,in the form of waste water etc ,present in protozoan are more concentrated than the surrounding freshwater water due to presence of different acid ,etc . As a result concentration gradient develops which facilitate the flow of freshwater from surroundings inside the body of the protozoan . If this water keeps on filling inside the body then it may lead to damage to the metabolism of the protozoan & may also lead to the death of the organism . Hence, a regulating body like contractile vacuole is needed to excrete out the extra water in the protozoan's body .
