Best Answer

No, some single celled organisms, protists, generally, live in hypotonic solutions of fresh water and if they did not have a method to " bail " out this water their cell would burst. So the contractile vacuole, which has filament motive forces, fills with water and then contracts which squirts the water out of the cell.
