Amoebas are one-celled organisms that live in water, mud, and in animals. These creatures have a flexible cell membrane filled with watery cytoplasm. The actions of the amoeba are directed by the nucleus. Contractile vacuoles store and discharge water. To move, the liquid cytoplasm streams to the edge of the cell wall and forms pseudopodia, or false feet. These pseudopodia surround the amoeba’s prey and engulf the food into a food vacuole where it is digested by enzymes.
Which structure of the amoeba plays the main role in maintaining homeostasis with its watery environment?
nucleus
food vacuole
pseudopodium
contractile vacuole

The picture shows a contractile vacuole of a uniellular freshwater organism. The contractile vacuole regulates flow of water into and out of the cell in an aquatic environment.
What condition causes the contractile vacuole to fill with water?
The concentration of water is greater outside the cell than inside the cell
The temperature of water in the vacuole is higher than the temperature of its environment
The concentration of water inside the cell is the same as the concentration outside the cell
The temperature of water in the vacuole is lower than the temperature of its environment

Some students used a vinegar solution to dissolve away egg shells and used the eggs as a models of human red blood cells.
Which statement best describes the role of the cell membrane in this model?
A cell membrane is an impermeable barrier that prevents water from entering the cell.
The cell membrane allows solutes to enter the cell, which causes the cell to shrink.
The cell membrane allows water to enter and leave the cell
The cell membrane removes solutes from the environment
