List some animals in your surroundings which have the same kind of food habits. Frog breaths with lungs and skin. Explain.
Answers
Answer:
Because frogs are amphibians, they have adaptations that help them live on land and in water.
1) They are cold blooded, which means that their body temperatures change with that of the environment.
2) A frog has lungs for breathing but also breathes through its skin.
3) They have webbed feet, which help them to swim.
4) They have long and strong hind limbs, which help them in leaping and catching their prey.
5) A frog's eyes and nose are on top of its head. It can breathe and see when most of its body is under the water.
The frog breathes through its lungs and skin because it is an aquatic and terrestrial animal:
• Frogs can breathe through the lungs and skin.
• Frog larvae also known as tadpoles, breathe through gills, as they live in
water.
• As tadpoles change into adult frogs, they begin to breathe through their lungs.
• Frogs' lungs do not grow well, so frogs also breathe through their skin.
• Tubes breathe underwater with the help of internal pores and skin.
• It later develops into terrestrial animals with air-breathing lungs.
• During periods of inactivity they do not need a lot of oxygen.
• Frog breathing occurs on completely immersed skin.
• The skin is made up of tiny membranous tissues that can penetrate water and contain a large network of blood vessels.
