Answer:

The correct option is <u>less</u>.

Explanation:

outside an organism's body.

A hypotonic environment can be described as an environment in which the amount of solvent is more outside the cell as compared to the inside of the cell. The amount of solutes is more inside the cell. Hence, water tends to move inwards by osmosis in such an environment.

An isotonic environment can be described as an environment where the concentration of solutes and solvents is the same inside and outside of a cell.

When paramecium caudatum would be in a hypotonic environment, its contractile vacuole will be more active to pump the excess water. In an isotonic environment, there will be no or very less water for the paramecium to pump out of the body. Hence, contractile vacuole will be less active.

What are four structures used for gas exchange
kotegsom [21]


Single-celled organisms exchange gases directly across their cell membrane. However, the slow diffusion rate of oxygen relative to carbon dioxide limits the size of single-celled organisms. Simple animals that lack specialized exchange surfaces have flattened, tubular, or thin shaped body plans, which are the most efficient for gas exchange. However, these simple animals are rather small in size.
