No, some single celled organisms, protists, generally, live in hypotonic solutions of fresh water and if they did not have a method to " bail " out this water their cell would burst. So the contractile vacuole, which has filament motive forces, fills with water and then contracts which squirts the water out of 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 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.
