The contractile vacuole of Euglena decreases its rate of contraction when the organism,is transferred from fresh water to seawater This is explained by
a. an increase in the osmotic pressure of the environment
b. a decrease in the*osmotic pressure of the environment
I think answer is A but the correct answer is B.
If solute concentration inc, then osmotic pressure inc.
Seawater has higher solute concentration so osmotic pressure of environment increased.
What do you guys think?
