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 is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
Facilitated Diffusion
Is excretory system osmosis or diffusion?
osmosis
What types of transport mechanisms through the cell membrane are passive?
diffusion, facilitated diffusion, and osmosis
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.
How do diffusion and osmosis affect cells?
diffusion does the thing and osmosis does the other one. 10/10 gameinformer
How does osmosis and diffusion help an amoeba survive?
Difussion takes place in amoeba to transport nutrients to every part of amoeba.
What is the ability of a solution to do work by osmosis?
diffusion
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
How do osmosis differ from diffusion?
osmosis is diffusion through a membrane
What are the differences of the processes of osmosis and diffusion?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water.
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.
Osmosis is the diffusion of?
Osmosis is the diffusion of water across the cell membrance
How does Amoeba eat's?
By osmosis
Are earthworms diffusion or osmosis?
osmosis
What is the diffusion of water through the cell membrane is called?
Facilitated Diffusion
What type are osmosis and diffusion?
diffusion and osmosis are types of ways to get materials into or out of a cell
