What is the function of contractile vacuole in paramecium?
- Produces Enzymes
- Gets rid of excreta
- Stores and digest food
-
Gets rid of excess water
The correct answer is: D
Explanation
Osmoregulation. Paramecium and amoeba live in fresh water. Their cytoplasm contains a greater concentration of solutes than their surroundings and so they absorb water by osmosis. The excess water is collected into a contractile vacuole which swells and finally expels water through an opening in the cell membrane.
: Excretion of water in Paramecium is carried out by the Contractile vacuoles
