Paramecia live in a(n)
hypertonic) environment. In this environment, the paramecium takes
in a lot of water through the process of
(osmosis, diffusion, facilitated diffusion, or active transport). In order
to get rid of this excess water, the paramecium has a specialized
organelle called the contractile vacuole that acts as a water pump
-contractile vacuole
to expel water through the process of
(osmosis, diffusion, facilitated diffusion, or active transport).
