The amoebae is an eukaryote, so it uses oxygen for the same reason you do. Oxygen is the final electron acceptor in the process of oxidative phosphorylation that takes place in the mitochondria.

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.
How does osmosis and diffusion help an amoeba survive?
Difussion takes place in amoeba to transport nutrients to every part of amoeba.
How many moles of oxygen are needed to burn 7.0 mols of phosphorus?
8,75 moles of oxygen are needed.
What are needed for cellular metabolism between oxygen and nitrogen?
oxygen
What materials do mitochondria consume?
Glucose is the fuel. Oxygen is also needed
How amoeba die?
Amoeba can die if they lack oxygen. They need it.
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.
How does osmosis and diffusion work in amoeba?
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 gas is needed for cellular respiration?
Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration.
Why do larger organisms need a circulatory system and amoeba do not?
We are eukaryote which means are cells are more advanced than there's. And since we have more cells than a amoeba. Our cells carry oxygen to the brain and other organs in the body. A amoeba dose not have a brain. So it doesn't need a circulatory system.
How does osmosis and diffusion help an amoeba survive?
Difussion takes place in amoeba to transport nutrients to every part of amoeba.
How an amoeba exchanges oxygen and carbon dioxide gases with its surroundings?
diffusion across their body surface (cell surface membrane)
How many moles of oxygen are needed to burn 7.0 mols of phosphorus?
8,75 moles of oxygen are needed.
Cells are in an amoeba?
cells are in a amoeba
What are needed for cellular metabolism between oxygen and nitrogen?
oxygen
Is oxygen needed to make food in a plant?
Yes. Oxygen is needed for a plant to photosynthesize and make glucose, which is its food.
What materials do mitochondria consume?
Glucose is the fuel. Oxygen is also needed
