EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Amphibian eggs are usually covered in a jelly-like substance that protects the eggs and keeps them moist. Most of the amphibian species go through a larval stage that is different from the adult form of the species.

Detailed explanation-2: -Amphibians lay jellylike eggs that you can see through, and the hatchlings typically look nothing like the adult. Most amphibians undergo metamorphosis, during which they change from an aquatic animal that breathes through gills to an adult that may have gills or lungs, depending on the species.

Detailed explanation-3: -Most amphibians breathe through lungs and their skin. Their skin has to stay wet in order for them to absorb oxygen so they secrete mucous to keep their skin moist (If they get too dry, they cannot breathe and will die).

Detailed explanation-4: -Amphibia-Amphibians Amniotic eggs have a membrane called the amnion. The amnion is a fluid-filled sac where the embryo develops. The fluid in the sac keeps the embryo moist. Birds, reptiles, and mammals have amniotic eggs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Amphibians are different from reptiles because they do not have any scales. Instead, they have smooth, slimy skin. An amphibian’s skin is incredibly moist. This allows it to breathe through its skin.
