Question

Which type of respiration will occur in frog during leaping?

• A. Pulmonary
• B. Buccopharyngeal
• C. Cutaneous
• D. All the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Pulmonary

The frog because of its amphibious mode of life exhibits different modes of respiration. The respiration in various modes of life is through gills , skin (cutaneous), mouth (bucco-pharyngeal) and lungs (pulmonary). The respiration by gills is in the tadpole stage. It is by skin during the period of rest and during hibernation. When the frog is more active during locomotion, swimming, leaping and jumping which requires more oxygen, the respiration is through lungs.

So, the correct answer 'Pulmonary'.
