Contractile vacuoles are found in the eukaryotic cells of some?

What organelle is found in paramecia cells but not plant cells?
Centriole, lysosomes, and cilia.
What type of organisms have cells with very large vacuoles?
A contractile vacuole is a type of vacuole involved in osmoregulation. It pumps excess water out of a cell and is found prominently in freshwater protists. In a Paramecium, a common freshwater protist, the vacuole is surrounded by several canals, which absorb water by osmosis from the cytoplasm. After the canals fill with water, the water is pumped into the vacuole. When the vacuole is full, it expels the water through a pore in the cytoplasm which can be opened and closed. This pore has, in some forms of paramecium, disappeared entirely when in use, leading to the idea of a "second cell" in paramecium. Other protists, such as Amoeba, have contractile vacuoles that move to the surface of the cell when full and undergo exocytosis. The contractile vacuole basically stores the extra water, in cells (mostly ciliates) in itself, so if there's a change in environment, a drought for example, the contractile vacuole can release more water into the cell. But if there's a flood, this vacuole will suck a lot of excess water out.
Does animal cells have vacuoles?
Yes, animal cells do contain vacuoles, smaller than those found in plant cells but greater in number. Some animal cells do not however, have any vacuoles.
How many vacuoles are found in a cell?
The number of vacuoles in a cell is not definite. But there are a few & small vacuoles in an animal cell and many & big vacuoles in plant cells.

What is the contractile vacuoles physiological function in cells?
They are found in aquatic protists.They remove excess water.

Is vacuole found in the plant cells or animal cells or both?
Vacuoles are found in plant and animal cells. They are larger in plant cells.
Is a vacuole found in plant cells or animal cells or both?
Vacuoles are found in plant and animal cells. They are larger in plant cells.
Are vacuoles in animal cells or in plant cells?
Vacuoles are present in all plant and fungal cells, but they can also be found in a few varieties of animal and bacterial cells.

Is a vacuole found in a plant or animal or both?
Vacuoles are found in plant and animal cells. They are larger in plant cells.

What two organelles are found in plants cells but not in animal cells?
Chloroplasts and vacuoles.
