Question

Frogs breathe through their skin as well as their lungs.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

• Frogs breathe through their skin as well as their lungs for the following reasons:
  

a) It is an amphibious animal that can live both in water and land.

b) On land, lungs play a very important role in the respiration process by inhaling oxygen and exhaling carbon dioxide.
c) When frogs are inside the water, they breathe through the skin. The skin is composed of thin membranous tissue that is quite permeable to water and contains a large network of blood vessels. The thin membranous skin allows the respiratory gases to readily diffuse directly down their gradients between the blood vessels and the surroundings.

• Hence Frogs breathe through their skins as well as their lungs is a correct statement.
• So, the correct answer is 'True'.
