Are amobia anaerobic?
No, amoebae must take in oxygen to metabolize the food they ingest, just like you they are eukaryote and use oxidative phosphorilation to generate ATP. They bring in the oxygen diffusely across their cell membranes. They are aerobic organisms.
Can amoebae cause Pneumonia?
Yes
What is a major problem of amoebae living in fresh water?
A major problem for amoebae living in fresh water is the risk of osmotic pressure imbalance. Freshwater environments have lower solute concentrations than the amoebae's internal fluids, leading to water influx into their cells. This can cause the amoebae to swell and potentially burst if they cannot effectively expel the excess water. To counteract this, amoebae often rely on contractile vacuoles to regulate osmotic pressure and maintain cellular integrity.
What do foraminiferans and radiolarians have that seprates them from other amoebae?
Foraminiferans and radiolarians are distinguished by their unique, intricate shells made of calcium carbonate (foraminiferans) or silica (radiolarians). These structures serve as protective coverings and help with buoyancy and capturing food, setting them apart from other amoebae that lack such specialized structures. Additionally, foraminiferans and radiolarians are marine organisms found in ocean environments, unlike many other amoebae that inhabit terrestrial or freshwater habitats.
Is Amoebae a virus or bacteria?
neither. its a protist
Are amobea autotrophic or heterotrophic?
