Q7 Paramecia possess contractile vacuoles, which are organelles that periodically contract to expel water
that has entered the paramecium cell, so as to prevent the cell from swelling.

paramecia in saline solutions of various concentrations and measuring the number of their contractile
vacuole contractions per minute. The results are listed in the table below.

concentration exceeds 0.8%, the paramecium’s intracellular fluid is isotonic with the saline
