Question

Which structural features help the amphibians to get adapted to both terrestrial and aquatic habitats?

Answer 1

Amphibians:

1. These organisms belong to the phylum Chordata and class Amphibia of the Animal kingdom.
2. These vertebrates are multicellular and can be seen on both land and water.

Structural features that help the amphibians to get adapted to both terrestrial and aquatic habitats are :

1. Amphibians show the presence of a set of gills present externally in larval stages that makes them focus on oxygen from the water.
2. Without depending on the buoyancy of the water, the presence of limbs helps them to move freely.
3. To facilitate the respiration process in adult stages, lungs were replaced by gills.
4. To take large steps and change the direction with ease, hind legs are present when they have to move on land.
