Explanation: To regulate osmotic pressure, most freshwater amoebaehave a contractile vacuole (CV) that expels excess water from the cell. This organelle is necessary because the surrounding water is hypotonic with respect to the contents of the cell. Water is transferred across theamoeba's cell membrane by osmosis.
