Suppose the paramecium were placed in a container of sea water what would you observe?
Usually, the paramecium used in a study like this are freshwater. Because the water inside the paramecium has a lower salt concentration, it moves out and shrivels the paramecium up, drying it out.
Why is a contractile vacuole important to paramecium?
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.
What cells need hypotonicity to be at homeostasis?
paramecium, since it lives in fresh water, it has a contractile vacuole so that it doesn't gain too much water and burst
Why don't potato cells swell and burst when placed in distilled water?
Potatos are plants and they have cell walls.
Is a red blood cell placed in distilled water will swell and burst a chemical or physical change?
When a red blood cell is placed in distilled water it will swell and burst. This is a physical change.

How Parameciun could survive in freshwater which is hypotonic?
paramecium has an organelle called the contractile vacuole,since it is hypertonic water rushes in from its habitat but this vacuole excretes the water constantly so that the cell do not burst.
Why does a glass bottle completely filled with water and tightly capped burst when placed in freezer?
esuyt

What happens to red blood cells when they are placed in distilled water?
because of osmosis it would get fatter and fatter with water till it burst. aww.
A red blood cell placed in distilled water will swell and burst due to the diffusion of what?
3. water from the blood cell into its environment
Where does paramecium grow?
the paramecium lives in pond water and creeks sometimes.
Would red blood cells burst when placed in fresh water?
Yes - this is because there is a higher solute concentration inside the cell, so there will be a net movement of water into the cell (trying to reach equilibrium). This will eventually cause the cell to burst.
What happens to red blood cells when they are placed in the solution that has higher water potential?
they absorb water through the permeable membrane and on ovr absorbing...they burst up
