Which of these function to remove excess water in many unicellular freshwater protists?

The contractile vacuole helps it to get rid off the excess water from the cell.


What is function of contractile vacuole in amoeba?

The contractile vacuole in amoeba functions to regulate the water content within the cell by collecting and expelling excess water to prevent the cell from bursting. It helps maintain the proper balance of water and ions in the cell to ensure its survival in different environments.


Which organelle is present in a paramecium protozoa but absent in the cells of a strawberry plant?

A contractile vacuole is present in a paramecium protozoa but absent in the cells of a strawberry plant. The contractile vacuole helps regulate water content in paramecium cells by expelling excess water, a function not needed in plant cells due to their rigid cell walls.


What is semicontract the plant?

Semicontract plants refer to plants that are in between contractile and non-contractile plants in terms of their ability to contract. Contractile plants have the ability to shorten in response to external stimuli, while non-contractile plants do not. Semicontractile plants exhibit some degree of contraction but not as much as contractile plants.


Why do protists need contractile vacuoles?

If the solution inside the amoeba is more concentrated than the outside, the water will diffuse into the cell through osmosis and eventually cause it to burst when there is way too much. The contractile vacuole prevents it from bursting by pumping water back out.
