Answer: The organism's environment has a larger concentration of solute then the paramecium has inside its cell membrane.

Vacuoles are broken down by the cell, with the particles used as food or dispatched in some other way. Pinocytosis is a similar process on a smaller scale. The cell expels waste and other particles through the reverse process, exocytosis.
