How would the contractile vacuole of a freshwater amoeba respond is the organism was placed in seawater
morpeh [17]

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.

Como se representa la molecula de agua y en cuantas partes
Hitman42 [59]
<span>¡La opinión de un químico sobre el mundo no es tan estrecha como se podría pensar! Sí, empezamos con el átomo, y luego pasamos a las reglas que gobiernan los tipos de unidades estructurales que se pueden hacer con ellos. Se nos enseña tempranamente a predecir las propiedades de la materia en masa de estos arreglos geométricos. Y luego llegamos a H2O, y estamos sorprendidos al descubrir que muchas de estas predicciones están muy lejos, y que el agua (y por implicación, la vida misma) ni siquiera debería existir en nuestro planeta. Pero pronto aprendemos que esta pequeña combinación de tres núcleos y ocho electrones posee propiedades especiales que lo hacen único entre los más de 15 millones de especies químicas que conocemos actualmente. Cuando nos detenemos a reflexionar sobre las consecuencias de esto, la química pasa de ser una ciencia arcana a un viaje de maravilla y placer mientras aprendemos a relacionar el mundo microscópico del átomo con el mundo mayor en el que todos vivimos.</span>
