Question

EXPLAIN AND DISCUSS THE EFFECTS OF SOLUTE CONCENTRATION TO THE GENERAL HOMEOSTASIS OF THE PARAMECIUM. EXPLAIN HOW THIS ORGANELLE MAINTAINS THE HOMEOSTASIS ABOUT THE FLUIDS INSIDE THE ORGANISM. (PLEASE RESEARCH USING THE INTERNET FOR THE INFORMATION YOU NEED)

Answer 1

Explanation:

$\huge\sf\purple{Answer-:}$An atom is a complex arrangement of negatively charged electrons arranged in defined shells about a positively charged nucleus. This nucleus contains most of the atom's mass and is composed of protons and neutrons (except for common hydrogen which has only one proton).

Answer 2

For a solution with a higher solute concentration outside the cell, the water flows out of the cell and shrinks. For a solution with a lower solute concentration outside, the water will flow into the cell, causing the cell to expand.

Explanation:

• A paramecium is a one-celled organism that lives in ponds and other bodies of water. One of the challenges for a paramecium is to maintain a stable size and shape.
• The water solution outside the paramecium is said to be hypotonic because it has a lower solute concentration than the solution inside the paramecium.
• Water moves into and out of the paramecium by a process called osmosis.
• Osmosis is the movement of water across a membrane from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration.
• The contractile vacuole is a star-shaped structure that helps the paramecium to pump out excess water.
• This adaptation allows the paramecium to survive in hypotonic (low solute concentrations) solutions.
