Why does the environment in which these organisms live make contractile vacuoles important?

they are so important because they remove excess water from their cytoplasm.
I hope this answered your question :)

Where contractile vacuoles are located in amoeba?
contractile vacuoles merge with the cell membrane..
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.
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.
Does amoeba have contractile vacuole?
No they do not have contractile vacuoles.
What vacuoles rid cells of extra water?
Contractile Vacuoles
What is a contractile vaculoe?
An organelle of single celled organisms tasked with excreting the water that has osmotically entered the cell. Amoebae are an example of organisms that have contractile vacuoles.
Why do amoebae and paramecia require contractile vacuoles?
Amoebae and paramecia require contractile vacuoles for osmoregulation. This is a process which gives these organisms that live in fresh water ability to regulate water balance.
Why contractile vacuoles would be of Little value to one-celled organisms living in the ocean (salt water)?
Contractile vacuoles would be of little value to one-celled organisms living in the salt water because the contractile vacuoles pump out excess water that accumulates in the cell though osmosis. The ocean has salt water so osmosis would not be able to occur.

Why contractile vacuoles would be of little value to one cell organisms living in the ocean?
I do get it,for the organism living in the hypertonic salt water(ocean) the contractile vacuole is most not needed since the water in the organism are already on thier way out!
Are contractile vacuoles found in animal or plant cells?
Contractile vacuoles are found in plant cells.
What do contractile vacuoles protists do?
Contractile vacuoles in protists collect water and then expel it when they become full.
Does amoeba have contractile vacuole?
No they do not have contractile vacuoles.
How does osmoregulation occur in unicellular organisms?
Osmoregulation in unicellular organisms is by active transport. For example in Paramecium - osmoregulation is done by organelles called contractile vacuoles. These contractile vacuoles are spherical shaped structures surrounded by a series of radiating ducts. These ducts collect water and pump it into the central area by means of contractile fibres that contract and force the water into the center. When the vacuoles are full the unicellular organism contracts forcing the water outside the cell.
