What is the process called within the amoeba for which oxygen is required?

It enters through the lipid bilayer (aka cell membrane) by diffusion down a concentration gradient from a high concentration to a low one. This process is continuous. Diffusion occurs naturally because of the kinetic energy in the oxygen particles which allows them to move - this is known as Brownian Motion.

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.
What is oxygen needed for in the amoeba?
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.
Is oxygen required in combustion?
No, oxygen is required for combustion to take place.
Oxygen in air causes iron to rust so iron and oxygen are what in this process?
a process called Oxidation
What is the process called when a plant makes its own food?
The process called as PHOTOSYNTHESIS. during that process they release oxygen also.

How amoeba die?
Amoeba can die if they lack oxygen. They need it.

Is oxygen required in combustion?
No, oxygen is required for combustion to take place.
What process can release oxygen from the biosphere?
This process is called photosynthesis.
What is the process called when electricity can convert oxygen into ozone?
Thunder converts oxygen to ozone. It is a natural process.

a process called Oxidation
What process makes oxygen?
I am not sure that there is such a process that produces ATP and oxygen, however, there are 2 processes that produce ATP, while one reqires oxygen, and the other does not. The process that produces ATP and does require oxygen is called aerobic respiration. While the process that produces ATP but does not need oxygen is called anaerobic respiration.
What is the process called when a plant makes its own food?
The process called as PHOTOSYNTHESIS. during that process they release oxygen also.
In which process do plants release oxygen?
During the process of photosynthesis, plants release oxygen into the air. This process is sometimes called the oxygen cycle when it refers to the role of plants in the production of oxygen for the planet.
What is a chemical equation which summarize the process for which oxygen is required in living cells?
co2 +o2 =
What is the process in which a cell takes in oxygen and releases carbon?
This process is called "respiration."
