Unicellilar organisms such as Anoeba, Paramecium use organelle called contractile vacuolefor excrtetion. These are fresh water living animals, ie, they are lived in hypotonic solution.

When the vacuoles reach a critical size they contract, squeezing out their contents through the process of simole diffusion.
