The correct answer is option B, that is, there is a higher solute concentration inside so water is moving into the cell constantly.  

The contractile vacuole functions to pump out an extra amount of water from the cell. Paramecium lives in freshwater, where the water exhibits lower solute concentration in comparison to the cytoplasm within the cell. Therefore, due to osmosis, the water will flow within the cell.

The extra amount of water can be accumulated at the contractile vacuole and then be withdrawn out. The frequency and rhythm of the contraction rely on the surrounding and also on the number of contractile vacuoles present.

Ratling [72]

Answer:

The correct option is : It undergoes a lysogenic cycle.

Explanation:

A virus can replicate inside a host cell by two process :

  • Lytic cycle
  • Lysogenic cycle

In the lytic cycle, the viral DNA makes copies of itself and manufactures the viral machinery inside the host cell. Eventually, the host cell bursts causing the release of the viruses. In such a condition the varicella virus would cause chicken pox.

In the lysogenic cycle, the DNA of a virus get incorporated into the DNA of the host. The viral DNA might replicate when conditions become favourable and cause diseases. In such a condition, the varicella virus would cause shingles.
