Simple diffusion has limitations in organisms like amoebas because it is reliant on the concentration gradient and does not require energy input, limiting the movement of substances against a gradient or in areas of low concentration. Amoebas may not efficiently absorb necessary nutrients or expel waste in areas of low concentration due to the passive nature of simple diffusion, which affects their overall metabolic processes and growth.
Amoebas obtain oxygen through diffusion across their cell membrane from their environment. Carbon dioxide is similarly exchanged through diffusion, with waste carbon dioxide being eliminated from the cell in the same manner.
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.

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.

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.

simple diffusion, osmosis and facilitated diffusion.
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.
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..
It doesn't. (answer by RRU member Cyrem)
It's a single cell.
