How does the amoeba obtain oxygen and carbon dioxide?
An amoeba lives in an aqueous environment; some oxygen from the air will normally dissolve into the water (or, oxygen is released by plants living in the water) and oxygen will enter the amoeba by the process of diffusion.
Is simple diffusion the net diffusion of a solvent?
no
Why amoeba is considered as a simple organism?
The Amoeba is considered a simple organism because it is unicellular protozoan, or an animal composed of only one cell.
The movement of oxygen into cells from the bloodstream is accomplished through?
Diffusion, specifically simple diffusion
What is the transport that moves a solute down the concentration gradient?
Simple diffusion

Why can amoeba have exchange of gases through its body surface?
Gas exchange in Amoeba basically takes place across the whole body surface by diffusion. With their huge surface area which is relative to the volume, single celled animals can productively get oxygen and also remove carbon dioxide via diffusion across the surface. have i helped u from this answer my name is yash verma
Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?

Is simple diffusion the net diffusion of a solvent?
no
What is a simple living thing?
An Amoeba.
What are the 3 types of diffusion?

How does faciliated diffusion differ from simple diffusion?
Facilitated diffusion needs some sort of help. Often it would be a protein. Simple diffusion doesn't. If you spill something smelly on the floor in the kitchen, you will smell it all through the house. It will spread by simple diffusion.
How does gases enter and leave capillaries?
Simple diffusion.
What happens in simple diffusion?
In simple diffusion, a substance passes through a membrane without any outside intermediary. The rate of diffusion is based on the force exerted..
What are the examples of simple diffusion?
Osmosis is one of the easiest-to-understand examples of diffusion. Past that, you will need to define 'simple'.
How does facilitated diffusion from simple diffusion?
It doesn't. (answer by RRU member Cyrem)
