The vacuole would quickly shrink in size as water would leave the amoeba because of a higher salt concentration outside the cell.

The single cell organisms such as <em>Amoeba</em> contains special type of vacuole called contractile vacuole. It balances water in the cell by contraction and relaxation.  

Sea water contains lots of salt and is hypertonic to the water present in the contractile vacuole of <em>Amoeba.</em> When <em>Amoeba</em> is put into the sea water, it loses water due to exosmosis from the contractile vacuole. As a result, <em>Amoeba</em> shrinks and gets plasmolysed.

For science class, your teacher gives you and your partner a ball. She asks you to figure out a way to balance forces that you a
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

A.Both of you pull with equal force on opposite sides of the ball.

Explanation:

Balanced forces means that the total force or the sum of the force done on the object should be equal to 0 newtons or in other words, it should not be moving.

Force is defined as the push or pull on an object. For both people to balance out the forces on the ball while both applying a force, you need to do this from opposite sides.

You could either pull with equal forces on opposite sides of the ball or you can push with equal forces on opposite sides of the ball.

→ ball ←

← ball →

For the other choices, if you both push or pull on the same side, the ball would move that direction because there is no opposing force.

ball → →

If one pushes while the other pulls on opposite sides, it will move the direction you are pulling and pushing.

→ ball →
