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 organelle helps remove excess water?

The vacuole is the organelle responsible for removing excess water from the cell. It acts as a storage unit for water and other substances, allowing the cell to maintain proper water balance. When there is excess water, the vacuole will absorb it to prevent the cell from bursting.


What structure expels excess water in the amoeba?

The contractile vacuole is the structure in amoeba responsible for expelling excess water and maintaining osmotic balance within the cell. It collects and removes the excess water by contracting and expelling it out of the cell.

What is the role of the contractile vacuole?

The role of a contractile vacuole is osmoregulation. This will store up excess water in the cell and expel it when needed and therefore creating a balance in the cell.

Does an amoeba have more than one contractile vacuole?

No, an amoeba typically has one contractile vacuole, which is responsible for expelling excess water and waste from the cell. The contractile vacuole helps to regulate the osmotic balance of the cell by maintaining the proper water content.


What cell is being obsorved when it shows formation of a contractile ring just prior to cytoplasmic division?

The cell being observed is likely a eukaryotic cell undergoing cytokinesis. The formation of a contractile ring just prior to cytoplasmic division is a key step in the process of separating the cytoplasm into two daughter cells. This contractile ring consists of actin and myosin filaments that contract to pinch the cell in two.
