Protists, in general, and the paramecium in particular. These filament surrounded vacuoles, powered by motor proteins and ATP, allow the paramecium to exist in hypotonic conditions by sloughing off the water entering the cell and avoiding cell lysis.
The Euglena regulates its internal environment through a contractile vacuole which helps maintain the balance of water and ions within the cell. The contractile vacuole collects excess water and expels it from the cell, preventing it from swelling and potentially bursting.
That's correct, marine protozoa do not have contractile vacuoles. Contractile vacuoles are typically found in freshwater protozoa and serve to regulate water balance by expelling excess water from the cell. Marine protozoa have adaptations to maintain water balance in a high-salt environment without the need for contractile vacuoles.
The contractile vacuole is the structure in amoeba responsible for expelling excess water and maintaining osmotic balance within the cell. It collects and removes the excess water by contracting and expelling it out of the cell.
The contractile vacuole in an amoeba is responsible for regulating water balance by pumping out excess water to maintain osmotic balance within the cell.
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.
Contractile lysosomes
The Euglena regulates its internal environment through a contractile vacuole which helps maintain the balance of water and ions within the cell. The contractile vacuole collects excess water and expels it from the cell, preventing it from swelling and potentially bursting.
By contracting rhythmically, this specialized vacuole pumps excess water out of the cell. That helps them maintain water balance.

Contractile vacuole is found in paramecia cells but not plant cells. It helps in expelling excess water from the cell to maintain osmotic balance.
It is called "homeostasis".
The contractile vacuole in an amoeba is responsible for regulating water balance by pumping out excess water to maintain osmotic balance within the cell.
The paramecium would have difficulty regulating its water balance, leading to swelling and potential bursting from an influx of water. Without a contractile vacuole, the paramecium would struggle to expel excess water and maintain osmotic balance, ultimately leading to cell damage or death.
