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The extra amount of water can be accumulated at the contractile vacuole and then be withdrawn out.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

Explanation:

The sun is the only star in the solar system. It is the center around which the known 8 planets and their planets revolves round giving an heliocentric system.

The solar system is but one of the systems in the milky-way galaxy.

The sun, our star provides energy for the whole solar system through a nuclear process occurring at its core.

  • Nuclear fusion is the source of energy that the sun possesses.
  • The process requires a very high activation energy in the presence of a high pressure and temperature to start up.
  • During nuclear fusion, small atomic nuclei combines into larger ones with the release of a huge amount of energy.
  • The energy released provides the needed heat to set up another fusion process. The process eventually degenerates into a series of chain reaction leading to the release of energy.
  • This is what happens in the a star like the sun.
