Does there exist any continuous bijection between [0,1] and (0,1) and between [0,1] and IR?

We know that there are bijections between $[0,1]$, $(0,1)$ and $\mathbb{R}$. But my question is can we obtain a continuous bijection between $[0,1]$ and $(0,1)$, and between $[0,1]$ and $\mathbb{R}$? I think there will not exist but I am not sure.

The image of a continuous map of a compact metric space is compact. In particular, the image of a continuous map of a compact metric space into $\mathbb R$ is closed and bounded. Therefore, don't expect to find a continuous bijection between $[0,1], $ which is compact, and $(0,1)$, which is open. Other explanations can be found here.
