What else can I help you with?
Why would an Amoeba die if placed in salt water?
Freshwater amoeba in salt water will have a higher solute content outside of the amoeba. The water in the amoeba will want to move out of the amoeba and into the environment. This will cause the amoeba to shrivel and die.
Does amoeba have contractile vacuole?
Yes, many species of amoeba have a contractile vacuole that helps regulate water content within the cell by expelling excess water to prevent bursting due to osmotic pressure.
What part of the amoeba contains genetic material and controls the reproduction?
The nucleus of the amoeba contains the genetic material, which includes its DNA. The nucleus controls the process of reproduction in the amoeba by overseeing cell division and ensuring that the genetic material is properly passed on to the next generation.
What is the function of the endoplasm in amoeba?
The endoplasm in amoeba is the inner, granular part of its cell body where organelles and structures such as the nucleus and food vacuoles are located. It is involved in various cellular processes such as metabolism, digestion, and movement within the cell.
Why does Amoeba not burst when but into water?
The amoeba does not burst when put in water because it is already full of water. No water can enter the amoeba if it is already filled to capacity.

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.
What is osmoregulators?
osmoregulation is the regulation of water content in the body. It controls the permiability of the walls of the collecting duct.
Why does Amoeba not burst when but into water?
The amoeba does not burst when put in water because it is already full of water. No water can enter the amoeba if it is already filled to capacity.
Why does water move into the amoeba living in fresh water?
When single cell freshwater organism is transferred in salt water it will shrink. For e.x. As in case of amoeba if fresh water amoeba is kept in salt water it contractile vacuole will disappear and this phenomena is called osmoregulation.
What will happen if amoeba is put in distilled water?
since distilled water is hypotinic to the amoeba's cell sap water moves into the amoeba through osmosis diluting it's cell sap, the contractile vacuole become more active in order to eliminate excess water
Where are amoeba located?
in water
Where amoeba can found?
in the water
Where did the amoeba and name come from and why was it given that name?
It was given by A Greek God because in 1840 there was a disease in the Amoeba and there was Greek water made by a Greek god Amoeba that cured the amoeba naming It Amoeba
