EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Most adult amphibians can breathe both through cutaneous respiration (through their skin) and buccal pumping – though some also retain gills as adults. Amphibians have primitive lungs compared to reptiles, birds, or mammals. This means that they deal with slow diffusion of oxygen through their blood.

Detailed explanation-3: -The respiratory organs in amphibians are gills, lungs, buccopharyngeal membrane and the skin. Gills: The gills are only specific for the tadpoles and few other amphibians, which possess gills that help them breathe under water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Frogs are amphibians they can live both on land as well as in water. when they are in the water they breathe with skin and when on land they breathe with their lungs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Haemoglobin is the respiratory pigment found in the blood of frogs and other vertebrates.
