The contractile vacuole helps regulate the water content of a cell by collecting excess water and expelling it from the cell to maintain osmotic balance. It is particularly important in organisms living in freshwater environments to prevent them from bursting due to excess water uptake.
They are found in aquatic protists.They remove excess water.
They have an excretory function.They remove excess water from cells.
Contractile vacuoles are found in aquatic protists.They remove excess water.
The function of contractile vacuole is to store excess of water that enters the single-celled organism and then expel it to the exterior
Contractile vacuole helps in removing excess water in many unicellular freshwater protists by collecting and expelling water from the cell.
The contractile vacuole functions as a water regulatory organelle in freshwater protists by collecting excess water and expelling it from the cell. Its primary role is to maintain the cell's internal environment by preventing it from swelling and potentially bursting due to excess water intake.

Homeostasis is not a function carried out solely by the respiratory and cardiovascular systems. It Homeostasis is actually carried out in all cells and all systems.
A specific type of vacuole, called a contractile vacuole expels excess water from many fresh water protists.
Troponin is a regulatory protein while tropomyosin is a contractile protein. Troponin is involved in regulating muscle contraction by controlling the interaction between actin and myosin. Tropomyosin works in conjunction with troponin to regulate the binding of myosin to actin during muscle contraction.
Photosynthesis is carried out by plants, algae, and some bacteria. These organisms contain chlorophyll, a pigment that captures light energy and converts it into chemical energy in the form of glucose. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is transformed into oxygen as a byproduct.
