What else can I help you with?
What organelle helps move excess water?
A specific type of vacuole, called a contractile vacuole expels excess water from many fresh water protists.
Who has contractile vacuole amoeba or paramecium?
paramecium has the contractile vacuole yooo!
What has a contractile properties?
a contractile vacuole
Why is the contractile vacuole such an important organelle in Paramecium?
The contractile vacuole helps regulate osmotic pressure by pumping out excess water that enters the cell. Paramecium lives in freshwater environments where osmotic pressure fluctuations can be harmful. The contractile vacuole is critical for maintaining proper internal water balance and preventing cell bursting.
Organelle that pumps water out of the cell?
The Contractile Vacoule.
What structure expels excess water in the amoeba?
The contractile vacuole is the structure in amoeba responsible for expelling excess water and maintaining osmotic balance within the cell. It collects and removes the excess water by contracting and expelling it out of the cell.
Excess water is removed by what kind of vacuole?
contractile vacuole
Does an amoeba have more than one contractile vacuole?
No, an amoeba typically has one contractile vacuole, which is responsible for expelling excess water and waste from the cell. The contractile vacuole helps to regulate the osmotic balance of the cell by maintaining the proper water content.
How would the contractile vacuole of a freshwatee amoeba respond is the organism was placed in seawater?
If a freshwater amoeba is placed in seawater, the contractile vacuole would likely decrease its activity or stop functioning altogether. This is because seawater is hypertonic compared to the amoeba's internal environment, leading to water loss from the cell. As a result, the amoeba would not need to expel excess water, and the contractile vacuole's role in osmoregulation would become less critical. Ultimately, the organism may struggle to survive in the saline environment.
What organelle helps remove excess water?
The vacuole is the organelle responsible for removing excess water from the cell. It acts as a storage unit for water and other substances, allowing the cell to maintain proper water balance. When there is excess water, the vacuole will absorb it to prevent the cell from bursting.
If the contractile vacuole stops working the organism will die what happens in the cell?
If the contractile vacuole stops functioning, the cell will no longer be able to regulate its water content effectively. This can lead to an influx of water, causing the cell to swell and potentially burst. Additionally, the build-up of excess water can disrupt important cellular processes, ultimately leading to the death of the organism.
How does a contractile vacuole work?
