What else can I help you with?
What structures would you expect to find on the surface of a paramecium?
houses, hospitals, flats and me
What would happen if you made the solute concentrationoutside the paramecium the same as that inside it?
If the solute concentration outside the paramecium matched that inside, the surrounding environment would become isotonic to the paramecium's internal environment. In this scenario, there would be no net movement of water into or out of the paramecium, preventing any osmotic stress. The paramecium would maintain its shape and volume, as the balance of osmotic pressure would stabilize its internal conditions.
What kingdom and phylum does englena belong?
the Kingdom Protista, and the PhylumEuglenophyta
Where can you find paramecium the most?
In the ponds, in lentic waters
Where does ameba and paramecium live?
These are fresh water protists. Lakes, streams and ponds would harbor paramecium and amoebae.
What would happen to the paramecium if it did not have a contractile vacuole?
The paramecium would have difficulty regulating its water balance, leading to swelling and potential bursting from an influx of water. Without a contractile vacuole, the paramecium would struggle to expel excess water and maintain osmotic balance, ultimately leading to cell damage or death.
Where might you find a living paramecium caudatum?
in fresh water
What cannot be seen in a Paramecium cell?
Many things. For instance, you probably couldn't find a medium-sized toaster oven in a paramecium cell.
If a paramecium were to swim from a hypotonic environment to an isotonic one would the activity of its contractile vacuole increase or decrease?
The activity of the contractile vacoule would decrease. While in the hypotonic solution, water was moving into the paramecium because it had a higher solute concentration that the solution that it was in and water follows solute. So, the isotonic solution would contain the same solute concentration as the paramecium so there would be no net water movement. Therefore, the contractile vacoule would decrease in its activity because there would be no water entering or exiting the paramecium.
Why would water enter a paramecium cell?
By osmosis
