Water is constantly coming down it's concentrations gradient and osmotically entering the paramecium's cell. The cell would soon burst if there were not a way to offload much of this water, so contractile vacuoles do this job for the paramecium.

Who has contractile vacuole amoeba or paramecium?
paramecium has the contractile vacuole yooo!
Why is a contractile vacuole essential to the survival of the amoebae and the paramecium?
the paramecium is bad medicene
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 does paramecium expel water?
Water is pumped out of the cell through the contractile vacuole.
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!

What would happen to the paramecium if it did not have a contractile vacuole?
If a paramecium did not have a contractile vacuole or it did not work it would fill with water and lyse.

What structure pumps out excessive water and waste in paramecium?
contractile vacuole
How does a contractile vacuole in a paramecium help maintain homeostasis?
it pumps water into the cells
What would happen if the paramecium didn't have contractile vacuole?
i don't know sorry
Should The contractile vacuole of a paramecium be active when the paramecium is in an isotonic environment?
Sure I guess well kind of... not really

What can Contractile proteins are found in?
Contractile proteins are found in what?
The structure that keeps a Paramecium living in fresh water from swelling and bursting is called a?
contractile vacuole
