Given what you know about vacuoles (refer to Table 3.3, p. 68) and what you know about cells able to contract, suggest the type of transport that occurs when water is moved out of Paramecium.arrow_forwardBiopsies from aggressive cancers often have cells that contain several nuclei per cell when viewed through a microscope. Which scenario could explain how such a multinucleated cell might have come to be? (a) The cell underwent repeated mitosis with simultaneous cytokinesis.
