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 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.


Does Amoeba need or produce oxygen?

Amoebas do not require oxygen for survival as they are able to perform anaerobic respiration. However, they can still utilize oxygen if it is available in their environment.


How does the amoeba get the oxygen it needs and get rid of carbon dioxide it produces?

Amoebas obtain oxygen and release carbon dioxide through diffusion. Oxygen from the surroundings enters the amoeba's cell membrane, while carbon dioxide diffuses out of the cell membrane into the environment. This process occurs due to concentration gradients.


What type of microscope is needed to view amoeba?

An optical microscope is sufficient to view amoeba. Amoebas are single-celled organisms that are visible under a regular light microscope.


What gas is needed for cellular respiration?

Oxygen is needed for aerobic respiration.


What is a respiratory organ of amoeba?

How does amoeba obtain oxygen?

Amoebas obtain oxygen through diffusion. Oxygen from the surrounding environment diffuses across their cell membrane and into their cytoplasm, where it is used for cellular respiration to generate energy.


How does an amoeba breathe?

Amoebas take in oxygen through a process called diffusion, where oxygen molecules move into the cell across its cell membrane. The oxygen then reacts with other molecules in the cell to produce energy for the amoeba to survive and carry out its functions.


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.


Cells are in an amoeba?

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.
