Are contractile vacuoles found in animal or plant cells?

Contractile vacuoles are primarily found in single-celled organisms, such as protists, that live in freshwater environments. They help regulate the water content of the cell by pumping out excess water to prevent it from bursting. Neither animal nor plant cells typically possess contractile vacuoles.


What is the contractile cell?

Contractile cells are the smooth muscle cells of the heart that... contract. They get their signal from the nodes within the heart, which spontaneously fire action potentials (because of leak channels).


What type of tissue is associated with movement?

Muscle tissue is associated with movement in the body. It is made up of contractile cells that allow for voluntary and involuntary movements.


What organelle is found in paramecia cells but not plant cells?

Contractile vacuole is found in paramecia cells but not plant cells. It helps in expelling excess water from the cell to maintain osmotic balance.


How is a plant or animal tissue different from just an aggregate of similar cells?

It starts with the cells. Since the tissues of both plants and animals are made up with cells that is where the main difference lies. Animal cells and plant cells are different. Plants cell have a cell wall and a cell membrane were animal cells only contain a cell membrane. Plant cells also have chloroplast which carries out photosynthesis and the animal cell does not. On top of that plant cells are more square in structure and animal cells, due to the lack of a cell wall, are more rounded.

Animal tissue consisting predominalty of contractile cells?

Animal tissue consisting predominantly of contractile cells is known as muscle tissue. These cells, called muscle fibers, have the ability to contract and generate force, allowing for movements in the body. Muscle tissue is categorized into three types: skeletal, cardiac, and smooth, each with its own unique features and functions.

Does plant and animal cells have a tissue?

Yes, they both have tissue.


What is the difference between an animal cell and animal tissue?

You chemically can not compare them because you know that cells are building blocks and a group of cells work together to form a tissue so we can say that an animal tissue is larger than an animal cell.


How are animal cells like tissues and organs?

animal cells are like tissue and organs because inside a human body are hundreds of cell that form together and it makes tissue and like the animal cells is the same concept in which tissue forms:) hope that was enough information


What happens instead of the cytoplasm in plant cells pinching forward?

In animal cells a contractile ring mechanism pinchs the two cells apart In plant cells a cell plate forms between the two cells


What organelle keeps some animal cells from bursting in a hypotonic solution?

The contractile vacuole in some animal cells helps regulate osmotic pressure by actively pumping out excess water that enters the cell in a hypotonic solution. This prevents the cell from bursting due to the influx of water.


What organelle is found in paramecia cells but not plant cells?

Contractile vacuole is found in paramecia cells but not plant cells. It helps in expelling excess water from the cell to maintain osmotic balance.


In which tissue does animal mitosis occur?

In regenerating tissue (in all sorts possible) and stem cells.


What is the importance of myosin in the body?

Muscles are a type of tissue composed of contractile cells or fibers that effect MOVEMENT of a part of the human body,that allows you to move your body... :)
