Question

How does Amoeba resist cytolysis?

Answer 1

Answer:

Single celled protists like amoeba and paramecium contain an organelle called the contractile vacuole that is involved in preventing cytolysis. It is a pulsing structure that undergoes repeated cycles of diastole (water entering the vacuole) and systole (water being pumped out of the cell).
