Best Answer

I believe you mean, "respire"?

Because amoebas are so small, they don't need a oxygen transportation system like larger organisms. They can simply respire through diffusion of O2 across their cell membranes, which provides all the O2 they need. This is because their surface area to volume ratio is extremely high when compared to, say, a human.
