What happens to chlamydomonas if its light-sensitive eye and pulsating vacuole are removed?

Chlamydomonas is an inhabitant of the aquatic environment, therefore, it needs continuous removal of liquid that enters it from the outside according to the laws of osmosis (along the concentration gradient). If you remove the contractile vacuoles from a given organism, then water will begin to freely penetrate into the cell, because of this it will simply “break”, which will lead to death.
The light-sensitive eye in chlamydomonas acts as a kind of sensory organ. It allows the cell to carry out positive phototaxis, that is, with its help, it reacts to light and moves in the required direction. Algae needs light for photosynthesis. Conclusion: if you remove the peephole, then chlamydomonas will become insensitive to the effects of light rays, because of this, photosynthesis will stop, which will also lead the cell to death.
