Which of the following animals breathes through its skin?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. Frog.

  • Frogs can also breathe through their skin.
  • They need to keep their skin moist to be able to breathe through their skin, so if their skin dries out they are not able to absorb oxygen.
  • The frog has three respiratory surfaces on its body that it uses to exchange gas with the surroundings: the skin, in the lungs and on the lining of the mouth.
