How does a frog breathe in water?
A
lungs
B
skin
C
feet
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Frogs can also breathe through their skin. They need to keep their skin moist to be able to breathe through their skin, so if their skin dries out they are not able to absorb oxygen. They use their skin to absorb oxygen when underwater, but if there is not enough oxygen in the water, they will drown.

Detailed explanation-2: -The thin membranous skin is allows the respiratory gases to readily diffuse directly down their gradients between the blood vessels and the surroundings. When the frog is out of the water, mucus glands in the skin keep the frog moist, which helps absorb dissolved oxygen from the air.

Detailed explanation-3: -Frogs use their skin to help them breathe underwater. In their larval stages, gills are used to breathe in water. In their adult forms, frogs use their lungs to breathe on land and skin underwater.

Detailed explanation-4: -Like a giant lung, the thin, moist skin allows gases to pass through, helping the frog to breathe. To keep the skin working well, frogs must stay clean and moist. They produce sticky mucus to prevent drying. Most frogs shed the outer layer of skin by twisting and stretching-they often eat the dead skin as it comes off.
