What is a major problem of amoebae living in fresh water?

A major problem for amoebae living in fresh water is the risk of osmotic pressure imbalance. Freshwater environments have lower solute concentrations than the amoebae's internal fluids, leading to water influx into their cells. This can cause the amoebae to swell and potentially burst if they cannot effectively expel the excess water. To counteract this, amoebae often rely on contractile vacuoles to regulate osmotic pressure and maintain cellular integrity.
