When a red blood cell draws in water and bursts is said to undergo what?
The swelling and bursting of an RBC is called Lysis
Structure that helps the paramecium move?
Paramecium move with hair like structures called ciliathat line the entire edge og the organism.
Paramecium have hair-like structures on the outside of their body called?
Thehairs on the paramecium are called cillia, it then is able to move in all directions
Why do Paramecium need to remove water?
The simple answer is osmosis. Osmosis is the movement of water from a dilute solution to a more concentrated solution through a semi-permeable membrane*. Any animal in freshwater has a higher concentration of dissolved substances in its cells than the surrounding water. A Paramecium is enclosed by a semi-permeable cell membrane, which lets water in but prevents most dissolved substances leaking out. Under these conditions osmosis will occur and the cell will gain water. To prevent itself swelling up and bursting Paramecium has a contractile vacuole, a structure in the cell which fills up with water and periodically expells it back into the surroundings. * The semi-premeable membrane is also called partially permeable or selectively permeable, which all mean basically the same thing.
What is it called when a host cell bursts?
The bursting of a host cell is called cell lysis.

What is the bursting of the cell called?
Cytolysis
What is bursting of cells called?
lysis
What does Paramecium move with?
A paramecium moves with hair-like things on its body called cilia.
What is it called when a host cell bursts?
The bursting of a host cell is called cell lysis.
What is the division of Paramecium called and why?
transverse fission
Which structures surround a paramecium?
short, hairlike strands called cilia sourround a paramecium. They use them for feeding and movement.:)
What are paramecium whiskers?
They are called cilia, and they are used to make the paramecium move. See related link below to additional information .
What are animal - like protists informally called?
paramecium
