Question

An example to cutaneous respiration

• A. Frog
• B. Cockroach
• C. Man
• D. Fish

Answer 1

The correct option is

D

Frog

Cutaneous respiration or cutaneous gas exchange is a form of respiration in which gas exchange occurs across the skin or outer integument of an organism rather than gills or lungs. Cutaneous respiration in frogs and other amphibians may be the primary respiratory mode during colder temperatures. Some amphibians utilizing cutaneous respiration have extensive folds of skin to increase the rate of respiration.

So, the correct answer is 'Frog'.

Lungs are the primary organs of respiration in humans and other vertebrates. Respiration in fish takes place with the help of gills. In cockroach, respiration occurs through spiracles – a small opening on the sides of its body.
