Many small freshwater organisms have a structure called a contractile vacuole, which pumps water out their body. Explain how this process is an example of active transport.

1: The process of osmosis would cause water to move into the cells causing them to swell and possibly burst. Many freshwater one celled organisms have structures called contractile vacuoles. These structures collect and pump out excess water that accumulates in the cell.

2: During active transport, a protein pump uses energy, in the form of ATP, to move molecules from an area of low concentration to an area of high concentration. An example of active transport is the sodium-potassium pump, which moves sodium ions to the outside of the cell and potassium ions to the inside of the cell.

thinking it would be d not too sure but i think it's right
