Describe the process of aerobic respiration in Amoeba .State whether it is aerobic or anaerobic respiration.
Answers
Answer:
Since it lives in water, the oxygen from water diffuses into the body of Amoeba through its cell membrane. ... The process of respiration continuously produces carbon dioxide that diffuses out through the membrane of Amoeba into the surrounding water. Respiration in Amoeba is aerobic.

Required Answer:-
A simple clue: Gaseous exchange in Amoeba takes place through general body surface which depends on the concentration of CO2 and O2 inside and outside the cell body
From here,
We knew that, Amoeba although being an unicellular eukaryotic protozoic organism, it performs aerobic respiration. The entire body of Amoeba is exposed to the environment and the gases like CO2 and O2 are exchanged according to the concentration gradient.
As it is an eukaryotic organism, it has mitochondria which completes the entire respiration process. Finally, the glucose is oxidised and the by-products are released out.
