What is the function of the contractile vacuole in a protozoan?
Living in fresh water, a hypotonic environment, causes water to enter the cell of certain protists (protozoa ) and would lysis the cell unless there were a way to expel this water. This is what contractile vacuoles do. When the fill with enough water microfilament contraction expels the excess water from the vacuole and helps the cell maintain internal isotonicity.
What is the function of a permanent vacuole?
Oh, dude, the permanent vacuole in plant cells is basically like the storage unit of the cell. It stores water, nutrients, and waste products, kind of like a messy garage that you never clean out. So, yeah, it's there to keep things organized and help the cell maintain its shape and structure.
How do you make model of a vacuole?
An empty 3-D circle. =] you do not make them, they occur naturally in the body - it is a membrane organelle which is present in plants and fungal cells, animal and bacterial cells.. The functions are, isolating material that might be harmfull to the cell, containing waste products, maintaining hydrolastic pressure within the cell and exporting unwanted substances from within the cell. They aid in the destruction of invading bacteria and assist in the digestive and waste management of the cell
Why is the vacuole important to the plant cell?
In plants, the vacuole stores food, water, and enzymes, and absorbs the waste products in the cell. In animal cells, smaller vacuoles are used to transport lipids and proteins out of the cell.
What part of the cell is a storage unit?
Vacuoles is your answer. In plant cells Vacuoles are very large in animal cells vacuoles are much much smaller usually not even labelled in diagrams.
What organelle helps move excess water?
A specific type of vacuole, called a contractile vacuole expels excess water from many fresh water protists.
Who has contractile vacuole amoeba or paramecium?
paramecium has the contractile vacuole yooo!
What has a contractile properties?
a contractile vacuole
Organelle that pumps water out of the cell?
The Contractile Vacoule.
What structure expels excess water in the amoeba?
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.
What is the function of the contractible vacuole in the Euglena?
Contractile vacuoles are found in aquatic protists.They remove excess water.
Excess water is removed by what kind of vacuole?
contractile vacuole
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 is the function of a cell in single celled organisms?
The function of contractile vacuole is to store excess of water that enters the single-celled organism and then expel it to the exterior
What is the function of a contractile vacuole in some in some single-celled organisms?
Vacuoles can store many types of molecules, in particular essential substances that are potentially harmful if present in bulk in the cytoplasm The contractile vacuole stores excess water that enters into it and expels it out after a stage
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.
How does a contractile vacuole work?
