Osmoregulation in Paramecium is a function of __________
- A Trichocysts
- B Contractile vacuole
- C Cytostome
- D Cytopyge
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Contractile vacuole
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(B) Contractile vacuole
The contractile vacuole in paramecium helps in osmoregulation by expelling excess water from the cell to maintain internal balance.
