Question

Cutaneous respiration takes place through

• A. Gills
• B. Lungs
• C. Skin
• D. Cell membrane

Answer 1

The correct option is C Skin

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 may be the sole method of gas exchange, or may accompany other forms, such as ventilation. Cutaneous respiration occurs in a wide variety of organisms, including insects, amphibians, fish, sea snakes, turtles, and to a lesser extent in mammals, including humans.

Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
