Functions of Contractile Vacuoles in Amoeba

Question

What is the function of contractile vacuoles in Amoeba.

Answer

Contractile vacuoles are specialized organelles found in single-celled organisms like Amoeba, which live in aquatic environments. These vacuoles help prevent the cell from bursting due to excessive water uptake and maintain the appropriate concentration of ions and molecules within the cell's cytoplasm.
