Amoebas adapt gas exchange through simple diffusion across their cell membrane, as they are single-celled organisms with a large surface area relative to their volume. They live in aquatic environments, where oxygen and carbon dioxide can easily diffuse in and out of their cytoplasm. The moist environment facilitates this process, allowing for efficient gas exchange without specialized respiratory structures. Additionally, their pseudopodia increase surface area, enhancing their ability to absorb gases.
