प्रश्न
Why do all the fresh water organisms have contractile vacuoles whereas majority of marine organisms lack them?
उत्तर
In majority of fresh water organisms, contractile vacuoles are present which help in osmoregulation (remove excess water from the body). In marine organisms there is no need to remove water from the body (due to hyptonic conditions), hence contractile vacuoles are absent.
