I do get it,for the organism living in the hypertonic salt water(ocean) the contractile vacuole is most not needed since the water in the organism are already on thier way out!

Why contractile vacuoles would be of Little value to one-celled organisms living in the ocean (salt water)?

Contractile vacuoles would be of little value to one-celled organisms living in the salt water because the contractile vacuoles pump out excess water that accumulates in the cell though osmosis. The ocean has salt water so osmosis would not be able to occur.


What type of organisms have cells with very large vacuoles?

Plant cells typically have very large vacuoles that store water, nutrients, and waste products. Vacuoles in plant cells help maintain turgor pressure and provide structural support for the plant. Some protists, such as amoebas, also have large contractile vacuoles that help regulate water balance.


What organelle allows free living protists to expel etra water?

The organelle that allows free-living protists to expel excess water is called the contractile vacuole. This structure collects excess water that enters the protist's body and then contracts to expel it, helping to maintain osmotic balance and prevent the cell from bursting in hypotonic environments. Contractile vacuoles are particularly important in freshwater protists, where water influx is constant.


What is the function of the contractile vacuole in a protozoan?

Living in fresh water, a hypotonic environment, causes water to enter the cell of certain protists (protozoa ) and would lysis the cell unless there were a way to expel this water. This is what contractile vacuoles do. When the fill with enough water microfilament contraction expels the excess water from the vacuole and helps the cell maintain internal isotonicity.


What organell allows free living protists to expel extra water?

The contractile vacuole allows free-living protists to expel extra water


What is the function of the contractile vocuole?

The contractile vacuole helps regulate the water content of a cell by collecting excess water and expelling it from the cell to maintain osmotic balance. It is particularly important in organisms living in freshwater environments to prevent them from bursting due to excess water uptake.


What is the difference between granules and vacuoles?

vacuoles are non living part , fluid filled spaces enclosed by membrane granges also non living but not bounded by any membrane


Are there more living organisms than non living organisms?

There are no non-living organisms, unless you mean dead organisms.


Living organisms come from other living organisms?

All living organisms have to have a host to create other organisms. This includes micro organisms as well as bacterial organisms


What is true for plant and animal cells They each have A mitochondria and chloroplasts B centrioles and cellulose C nuclei and vacuoles D Animal cells are generally smaller than plant cells?

Both are living organisms.


How are living cells that are organisms different from living cells that are not organisms?

All living things are organisms. There is no such thing as a living cell that is not an organism.


What organelle allows free-living protists to expel extra?

The contractile vacuole allows free-living protists to expel extra water
