Freshwater amoebas expel excess water primarily through a structure called the contractile vacuole. This organelle collects excess water that enters the cell due to osmosis, as the amoeba's cytoplasm is more concentrated than the surrounding freshwater. When the vacuole fills, it contracts and expels the water outside the cell, helping to maintain osmotic balance and prevent the cell from bursting. This process is crucial for their survival in hypotonic environments.
What else can I help you with?
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 do bony fish that love live in freshwater use to get rid of excess water?
Bony fish that live in freshwater typically face the challenge of excess water entering their bodies due to osmosis, as the surrounding water is less saline than their bodily fluids. To eliminate this excess water, they utilize specialized kidneys that excrete large volumes of dilute urine. Additionally, they actively absorb salts from their environment through their gills to help maintain osmotic balance. This combination of urinary excretion and salt uptake allows them to thrive in freshwater habitats.
If a mammal drinks large amounts of salt water what will this do to its urinary output?
Due to its evolutionary descent from fresh water fish mammals get rid of excess salt by flushing it out with excess water. (Fresh water fish always had excess fresh water that was in need of getting rid of, so that is the method they developed and mammals inherited.) If a mammal drinks salt water it tries to get rid of the excess salt by excreting excess water and slowly dehydrates itself to death.
What organelle gets rid of excess water?
contractile vacuole.
How plant is destarching?
A plant is destarched by placing a leaf under investigation in boiling water to get rid of all the excess starch. Then place into boiling ethanol to get rid of excess chlorophyll
What does the kidney get rid of?
the kidney rid of because the muscles are living in our body that's why the kidney rid of
By what process does the ameba get rid of carbon dioxide wastes Excess water?
The ameba gets rid of carbon dioxide and excess water by the process of exocytosis. This is the process by which gases and other wastes leave the cell through the cell membrane.
How do you rid excess water weight?
Drinking lots of water is the most important step in getting rid of excess water weight. Also make sure to watch your sodium intake and eat no more than 2,300-2,400mg of it per day (assuming you're an adult). Exercise can also help get rid of bloating/water weight.
What do cantractile vacuoles allow paramecium to get rid of?
Contractile vacuoles in Paramecium help expel excess water that accumulates within the cell due to osmosis. Since Paramecium live in freshwater environments where the water concentration outside the cell is higher, water constantly enters the cell. The contractile vacuoles collect this excess water and, upon contraction, expel it outside the cell, maintaining osmotic balance and preventing cell lysis.
What happens to the urine in case there is excess water in your body fluids?
When there is excess water in your body fluids, your kidneys will produce more dilute urine to help get rid of the excess water. This results in a higher volume of urine that is more clear and less concentrated.
How do you get rid of excess water in an above ground pool?
Put it in direct sunlight and let it evaporate
What osmotic problems do freshwater protists face?
"The cell membrane is a thin layer that surrounds and holds a cell together. This movement of water creates the problem. To understand how, consider a single-celled protist that lives in freshwater. The water inside the protist is mixed with many different chemicals. The water outside the protist contains few chemicals but few water molecules." - 9th Grade Biology Book
