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The extra amount of water can be accumulated at the contractile vacuole and then be withdrawn out.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.

NeTakaya

Answer:

Less urine production.

Explanation:

The urine production rate in the Pedialyte group is lower as compare to that of the water group because the presence of K, Cl-, and Na ions. The precise combination of electrolytes and sugars in Pedialyte helps in restoring fluid levels and the nutrients in the body that are lost through sweating, urinating, or vomiting and diarrhea. We know that the presence of sodium ions regulation water and electrolyte balance in the body so there is less urine produced by taking Pedialyte group.

Please help!!!! Grizzly bears and polar bears are very closely related, so much so that they can reproduce to form hybrid offspr
natima [27]

Scientists believe that at first these bears scavenged seal carcasses that had washed ashore, and gradually began to hunt the seals by waiting at the water's edge as the seals surfaced to breathe. This is believed to be an important step in the evolution of a new bear species, the polar bear

Over time the new polar bears were used to the cold climate and learnt how to fish, they then separated from the grizzly bears, they developed new creatures which would help them survive in one of the most dangerous climate.
