In amoebas, transportation occurs primarily through a process called phagocytosis, where the organism extends its pseudopodia (temporary projections of its cytoplasm) to surround and engulf food particles or other substances. Once engulfed, the material is enclosed in a food vacuole, where it is digested and nutrients are absorbed into the cytoplasm. Additionally, amoebas can move and transport materials within their cytoplasm through cytoplasmic streaming, allowing for the distribution of nutrients and organelles throughout the cell.
Amoeba's reproduce through asexual reproduction. Inside the cell the nucleus will divide through a process called mitosis. Then the cytoplasm and outer membrane divide and pull apart to create a new cell.
No. The amoeba is a protist.
An amoeba does not have eyes
Amoeba are not photosynthetic. They do not have chloroplasts
Freshwater amoeba in salt water will have a higher solute content outside of the amoeba. The water in the amoeba will want to move out of the amoeba and into the environment. This will cause the amoeba to shrivel and die.
Amoeba reproduction occurs rapidly. Using the process called binary fission, the amoeba splits itself in half, which then creates two new amoebas.
Digestion in amoeba occurs intracellularly within its food vacuoles, where enzymes break down food particles. In contrast, human digestion is extracellular and occurs in the gastrointestinal tract with the help of specialized digestive enzymes. Amoeba absorbs nutrients directly across its cell membrane, while humans absorb nutrients through the lining of the small intestine.
cells are in a amoeba
Amoeba, a single-celled organism, does not have a specialized respiratory system like higher organisms. Instead, it relies on simple diffusion to exchange gases. Oxygen from the surrounding water diffuses directly into the amoeba’s cytoplasm, while carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism, diffuses out. This process occurs across the cell membrane, allowing the amoeba to meet its respiratory needs efficiently.

Digestion in amoeba occurs in the food vacuoles, which are formed when the cell engulfs food particles through phagocytosis. The food vacuoles contain digestive enzymes that break down the food into smaller molecules, which are then absorbed by the cell for nourishment.
