This means that the concentration of solutes in the environment is greater than the concentration of solutes in the cell. As a result, water will tend to move from the environment into the cell. This can cause the cell to swell and burst.<\/p>\n<p>To prevent this from happening, freshwater protozoans have a contractile vacuole. The contractile vacuole is a small, sac-like organelle that pumps water out of the cell. This helps to maintain the osmolarity of the cell and prevents it from swelling and bursting.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Option A is incorrect because freshwater protozoans live in a hypertonic environment, not a hypotonic environment.<\/li>\n<li>Option B is incorrect because turgor pressure is not a mechanism that freshwater protozoans use to remove water from their cells.<\/li>\n<li>Option D is incorrect because freshwater protozoans do not have a turgor pressure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[amp_mcq option1=&#8221;hypotonic, turgor pressure&#8221;
