Answer:
Frog:-
- 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. A frog may also breathe much like a human, by taking air in through their nostrils and down into their lungs
Tadpoles:-
- By dropping the floor of the mouth, tadpoles suck at the water surface and create an air pocket that they can pinch off by quickly closing their jaws. This forms a bubble inside the mouth that contains fresh air and a bit of exhaled air. Raising the floor of the mouth squeezes the bubble, forcing air into the lungs
