Question

Some protozoans have special organelles called contractile vacuoles that continually eliminate excess water from the cell. The presence of these organelles tells you that the environment Group of answer choices is hypotonic to the protozoan. contains a higher concentration of solutes than the protozoan. is isotonic to the protozoan. is hypertonic to the protozoan.

Answer 1

is hypertonic to the protozoan.

Step-by-step explanation:

The presence of contractile vacuoles tells us that the environment is hypertonic to the protozoan that contains a higher concentration of solutes in the outside environment than the protozoan. The water moves outside the cell if its concentration is higher inside the cell so due to diffusion and no need of extra water, the water removes by the contractile vacuole to the outside environment so we can say that the environment is is hypertonic to the protozoan.
