Answer to Question #230491 in Cell Biology for Jully Sofia Grace

Question

How is the problem overcome by the paramecium?

Answer 1

To avoiding swelling which may cause bursting Paramecium has two contractile vacuoles. These vacuoles helps to control the excess movement of water into its body.

After water enters its body, the contractile vacuole will swell and when it reaches its maximum size the vacuole will burst and release water to the surrounding.
