Vedclass · Answer

(D) $1$. In $Paramecium$,the contractile vacuole is primarily involved in osmoregulation (water balance) rather than excretion of nitrogenous wastes. Excretion in $Paramecium$ occurs mainly through the general body surface by diffusion.$2$. In $Planaria$ (a flatworm),specialized cells called flame cells (protonephridia) are responsible for osmoregulation and excretion.$3$. Therefore,the statement $S$ is false because the primary function of the contractile vacuole is osmoregulation,not excretion. The statement $R$ is true as flame cells are indeed the excretory structures in $Planaria$.
