Which orgnalle serves the function of excretion and osmoregulation in amoeba?
In amoeba, the contractile vacuole serves the function of excretion and osmoregulation. It collects excess water and waste products from the cytoplasm and periodically contracts to expel these substances from the cell. This process helps maintain the proper balance of water and solutes within the amoeba, ensuring its survival in varying environmental conditions.
How is osmoregulation related to homeostasis?
Osmoregulation is a necessary funtion in order for an organism to regulate the quantity of fluid within its tissues/cells. Without Osmoregulation an organism's fluids may become too concentrated, or too diluted, to carry out normal life functions.
What do contractile vacuoles with radiating canals do in paramecium?
Contractile vacuoles in paramecium are responsible for regulating water content within the cell by collecting excess water and expelling it from the cell via pulsations. The radiating canals help in the collection of excess water from various parts of the cell and channel it towards the contractile vacuole for expulsion, helping in osmoregulation to maintain cell volume and prevent bursting.
Is the urinary system responsible for osmoregulation?
Yes it is since when one excretes, the kidney releases excess water from the excretory system hence osmoregulation takes place.
The removal of wastes produced by living things is called what?
excretion
What is the difference between osmoregulation and excretion?
Osmoregulation is the maintenance of the amounts of water and salts in body fluids. Excretion is a process of homeostasis. In this process,nthe metabolic wastes are eliminated from body to maintain the internal conditions at equilibrium.

The excretory organs in a planaria or fluke are called?
The organs of excretion in flatworms are contractile vacuoles. Flatworms are invertebrates that do not have any specialized excretion organs.
What are nephrida?
if you mean nephridia (an extra 'i' second to end) they are specialised organs that function similar to kidneys in that they are used for osmoregulation and excretion. In annelids (which are segmented worms) there is one pair of nephridia per segment.

What organ is used by humans for osmoregulation?
Kidneys.

What is the difference between osmoregulation and osmosis?
In biology, osmoregulation is important to organisms to keep a constant, optimal osmotic pressure within the body or cell. It is the way by which an organism maintains suitable concentration of solutes and amount of water in the body fluids.An example employed by organisms is excretion (such as getting rid of metabolic wastes and other substances toxic to the body when they are in large amounts).However, Osmosis is the dispersion of solutes through a selectively permeable membrane (name changed from semi permeable) from an area of high concentration to low concentration.
Does the liver function in osmoregulation?
That is more the job of the kidneys.
What is the technical name for regulating water in your body?
It is - OSMOREGULATION
Living thing remove waste from their body by the process of?
Many people confuse the process of excretion with the removal of waste products of digestion. Excretion, however, is actually the removal of all the waste products produced by the cells of the body.
What is the removal of metabolic wastes?
Excretion!:)
