Some protozoans have special organelles called contractile vacuoles that continually eliminate excess water from the cell. the p
resence of these organelles tells you that the intracellular environment of the protozoan is _______________ relative to the extracellular environment.
The ability of an extracellular solution to make water move into or out of a cell by osmosis is known as its tonicity. Tonicity is concern for all living things, especially in in organisms lacking cell wall, <em>Paramecium</em> is one such protozoan. It has specialized structures called contractile vacuoles. A contractile vacuole collects excess water from the cell and release it out, keeping the cell from lysing as it takes on water from extracellular environment which hypotonic (a lower osmolarity than the cell’s cytoplasm) as compared to hypertonic environment inside <em>Paramecium</em>.
The answer is people, as this is one of the sculptural
replicas that have been made by Edward Kienholz’s in the beanery. He was able
to make beautiful sculptures and replicas that could also depict aspects in the
life of the modern world.
