Protozoans take in water in bulk. As they mostly live in
aquatic environments. They are highly likely to burst due
to excessive intake of water.
fierefore, protozoans need to osmoregulate continuously
to keep only the required amount of water in their cells.
They get rid of excess water through contractile vacuoles.
