What removes excess water in a paramecium?
contractile vacuoles
What does paramecium possess that counteracts the effect of osmosis?
contractile vacuoles
Excess water is pumped out of a paramecium by means of?
A pair of contractile vacuoles.
What structure on a paramecium pumps water back out of its body?
A pair of contractile vacuoles.
Paramecium have contractile vacuoles that pump water out their body cavities This is an example of what?
homeostasis
What can Contractile proteins are found in?
Contractile proteins are found in what?
What do contractile vacuoles with radiating canals do in paramecium?
it helps in osmoregulation excretion and removal of carbon dioxide from body of paramecium
Does an amoeba have more than one contractile vacuole?
no they have only one contractile vacuole because of it's environment, soil or water. A paramecium has two contractile vacuoles.
How do ciliates deal with osmosis?
Some ciliates, like the paramecium, have contractile vacuoles that fill with water and then expel the water when they get full.
Who has contractile vacuole amoeba or paramecium?
paramecium has the contractile vacuole yooo!
How are the vacuoles from paramecia different from the vacuoles of other organisms?
The paramecium might have a contractile vacuole, whereas cells like animal and plants just have a normal one.
The contractile vacuole of a paramecium should be active when the paramecium is in what environment?
The contractile vacuole should be active when the paramecium is in water. We learned in 6th grade science that a contractile vacuole pumps water out of the cell to prevent it from getting too much water by osmosis. Without working contractile vacuoles, the cell would get too big and might die!
