Amoeba obtains oxygen via diffusion; it takes in water by osmosis, but I would think this is more of a problem, since Amoeba lives in a freshwater environment, and water is always entering by osmosis. Amoeba's problem is getting rid of that water, which it does by means of contractile vacuoles.
What else can I help you with?
What is the name of the diffusion of water?
Osmosis. Osmosis is not the same as diffusion of water. Diffusion of water is just diffusion like with any other substance: the particles spreading, making a homogeneous distribution. Osmosis involves a semipermeabel membrane, where water goes from low solvent concentration to high solvent concentration.
What types of transport mechanisms through the cell membrane are passive?
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
What tissue allows osmosis and diffusion to happen?
Simple squamous epithelial tissue allows osmosis and diffusion to happen due to its thin and permeable nature. It allows for the movement of molecules across the tissue through passive processes like osmosis and diffusion.
Are diffusion and osmosis the same process?
Diffusion and osmosis are similar processes, but they are not the same. Diffusion is the movement of molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, while osmosis specifically refers to the movement of water molecules across a selectively permeable membrane.
What substance cannot be moved into a cell by osmosis or diffusion?
Large molecules such as proteins cannot be moved into a cell by osmosis or diffusion due to their size and charge. These molecules require specialized transport mechanisms such as active transport to enter the cell.
How does osmosis and diffusion help an amoeba survive?
Osmosis and diffusion help an amoeba survive by allowing it to take in essential nutrients and water from its environment and release waste products. Through these processes, the amoeba is able to maintain the necessary balance of molecules and ions inside its cell to support its biological functions.
What are the consequences for a cell if it cannot carryout osmosis and diffusion effectively?
The cell will work but not very well because osmosis and diffusion did not occur but sometimes it will work anyways
What is the net movement of particles from an area of higher concentration to an area with lower consentrations?
Generally the movement is that of the MOVEMENT OF PARTICLES FROM A LOWER TO A HIGHER CONCENTRATION and is known as OSMOSIS. In order for nutrients to reach from the root of a plant to the top of the plant two related processes are involved: CAPILLARY ACTION and OSMOSIS. In the world of the Amoeba there is a tendency for the surrounding medium in which it lives as an AREA OF LOWER CONCENTRATION to flow into the Amoeba through its semi-permeable membrane. This seepage must be occasionally released by means of the Amoeba's CONTRACTILE VACUOLE, which bursts from time to time, thus temporarily restoring the correct concentration within the Amoeba
Are diffusion and osmosis passive or active transports?
Diffusion and osmosis are passive and do not require energy.
What is a synonym for osmosis?
assimilation , diffusion , passage
What is driven by hydrostatic fluid pressure?
Diffusion, Osmosis
What type are osmosis and diffusion?
diffusion and osmosis are types of ways to get materials into or out of a cell
Explain the differences among diffusion facilitated diffusion and osmosis?
osmosis is the movement of water across the plasma or cell membrane
What is a catchy title for osmosis and diffusion?
"Flowing Through Membranes: Osmosis and Diffusion Explained"
How are osmosis and diffusion defferent?
by... osmosis is the diffusion of water molecule across and athe diffusion is the process by which molecules speards from area
How is osmosis realted to diffusion?
Osmosis is related to diffusion by having something diffuse through a solvent
Why is osmosis often thought to be a special type of diffusion?
Osmosis only works BECAUSE OF diffusion.
