Detailed explanation-1: -Reptiles have scales, and their skin is dry. Amphibians do not, and their skin is often moist with mucus, which keeps them from drying up.
Detailed explanation-2: -Reptiles are born with lungs, while amphibians are born with gills for breathing under water-where they hatch and spend their early development (growing lungs and legs later). Reptiles have scales, while amphibians have thin, smooth skin. Snakes, turtles, and lizards are reptiles.
Detailed explanation-3: -Also, amphibians lay eggs in the water, and their young have gills to survive in the water. They venture onto land only when fully mature. Reptiles, on the other hand, have adapted to live completely on dry land. They are viviparous and breathe through lungs.
Detailed explanation-4: -In order to be able to live on land, amphibians replaced gills with lungs as the respiratory organ. Other adaptations include skin that prevents water loss, eyelids that allow them to adapt to vision outside water, and limbs as the locomotory organ.
