Why is the contractile vacuole such an important organelle in Paramecium?

The contractile vacuole removes the excess water that enters the organism through osmosis (passive transport doest not require ATP) down a concentration gradient. Because the water is more concentrated on the outside of the organism in the fresh water of its habitat the water enters the organism by osmosis. The water on the outside is hypertonic and the water on the inside of the organism is hypotonic. The contractile Vacuole acts as a pump to remove and excess water without this the cell would burst from to much excess water.

Who has contractile vacuole amoeba or paramecium?
paramecium has the contractile vacuole yooo!
What organelle helps move excess water?
A specific type of vacuole, called a contractile vacuole expels excess water from many fresh water protists.
Why is a contractile vacuole essential to the survival of the amoebae and the paramecium?
the paramecium is bad medicene

Does an amoeba have more than one contractile vacuole?
no they have only one contractile vacuole because of it's environment, soil or water. A paramecium has two contractile vacuoles.
Who has contractile vacuole amoeba or paramecium?
paramecium has the contractile vacuole yooo!
Which organelle is present in a paramecium protozoa but absent in the cells of a strawberry plant?
A contractile vacuole is the organelle that is present in a paramecium protozoa but absent in the cells of a strawberry plant.
What would happen to the paramecium if it did not have a contractile vacuole?
If a paramecium did not have a contractile vacuole or it did not work it would fill with water and lyse.

How Parameciun could survive in freshwater which is hypotonic?
paramecium has an organelle called the contractile vacuole,since it is hypertonic water rushes in from its habitat but this vacuole excretes the water constantly so that the cell do not burst.
Does an amoeba have more than one contractile vacuole?
no they have only one contractile vacuole because of it's environment, soil or water. A paramecium has two contractile vacuoles.
How does paramecium expel water?
Water is pumped out of the cell through the contractile vacuole.
What structure pumps out excessive water and waste in paramecium?
contractile vacuole
What organelle helps remove excess water?
It is Contractile Vacoule. Contractile Vacoule, a structure that collects the extra water and then expels it from the cell.
