## Abstract The history of investigations on the contractile vacuole is reviewed briefly and brought up to date. The study of the contractile vacuole in Amoeba proteus is considered from standpoints of origin, structure, behavior, and function. The results are obtained from a prolonged study of no
Two well-known movements are observed in Mimosa pudica L. (Ojigi-so in Japanese): one is the very rapid movement of the leaves when it is stimulated by touch, heating, etc., and the other is the very slow, periodical movement of the leaves called nycfinastic movement which is controlled by a biologi
## Abstract Contractile vacuole function in amoebae treated with immobilizing (5 mM) and nonimmobilizing (0.125 mM) concentrations of ATP has been studied. In ATPβimmobilized amoebae, most vacuolar parameters are accelerated, especially the rate of output which passes from 30 to 70 ΞΌm^3^/sec. This
