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 the breathing organ of Amoeba?
Amoeba does not have specific breathing organs like lungs or gills. Instead, it relies on simple diffusion of gases through its cell membrane to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with its environment.
Is simple diffusion the net diffusion of a solvent?
no
How does the lungs function in amoeba?
Amoebas do not have lungs; they respire through a process called diffusion. Oxygen from their surrounding environment enters the amoeba's cytoplasm directly through its cell membrane, while carbon dioxide produced as a waste product diffuses out. This simple method of gas exchange is effective due to the amoeba's small size and large surface area relative to its volume, allowing for efficient absorption of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide.
A person blows air molecules in balloon by forcefully exhaling is simple diffusion?
No, blowing air into a balloon by forcefully exhaling is an example of active transport, not simple diffusion. The process involves the use of energy to move air molecules against a concentration gradient into the balloon. Simple diffusion, on the other hand, is a passive process where molecules move across a membrane from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration.

An example of passive transport process is?
One example of a passive transport process is simple diffusion, where molecules move across a membrane from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration without the need for energy input.
what is the respiratory system of 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.
What is a simple living thing?
An Amoeba.
Are osmotically active substances simple diffusion or active transport?
simple diffusion.
Is simple diffusion the net diffusion of a solvent?
no
Why can amoeba have exchange of gases through its body surface?
Amoebas are small single-celled organisms with a large surface area-to-volume ratio, allowing for efficient gas exchange through their body surface by simple diffusion. This surface area contact with the environment facilitates the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, enabling them to meet their metabolic needs.
What are the 3 types of diffusion?
simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated 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..
How does facilitated diffusion from simple diffusion?
It doesn't. (answer by RRU member Cyrem)
