Question

In Amoeba, osmoregulation is carried out by

• A. Food vacuole
• B. Plasma membrane
• C. Contractile vacuole
• D. Both B and C

Answer 1

The correct option is D Both B and C

The amoeba always possesses higher solutes than surrounding water. So, endosmosis occurs and water enters inside the cell. But to prevent the amoeba cell from bursting, the cell membrane and contractile vacuole throw the extra water out. This is one of the types of osmoregulation. Therefore, option D is correct.
