The major function of the contractile vacuole of amoeba is osmoregulation. The solute concentration found in the cell of amoeba's cytoplasm is more than the solute concentration in the freshwater that surround the external part of the organism, thus, water enter the cell through osmosis. The contractile vacuole collect the excess water and expel it through an opening in the cell membrane. By doing this, the contractile vacuole maintains the water balance in amoeba. This how the contractile vacuole normally operate.
In a situation where amoeba is placed in seawater, then water from the cell cytoplasm will rush out of amoeba cell, because of the higher salt content of the surrounding medium. The contractile vacuole will respond to the situation by increasing its contraction and pumping water out the cell in an accelerated manner, this will lead to the shrinking of the cell.

I Believe This Is Correct.
The system that controls and coordinates
the body through hormones is the <span>endocrine system.</span>
<span>Endocrine system produces hormones and then these hormones
transmit the messages to various cells within the body. Hormones have great
importance in our body system and even our body is functioning due to hormones.
If hormones are disturbed it can lead to
many diseases.</span>
The answer to this question is the Pyers
patches. The Pyers patches are lymphatic tissues found through
the small intestines that have an important role in the immune system. Pyers
patches are also known as the aggregated lymphoid nodules that monitors and
prevents growth of bacteria in the intestine that is harmful in the intestines.
