Tadpoles breath through their gills.
frogs breathe through there skins. but the frog has lungs but no ribs! They don't. Frogs can hold their breath for a very long time but they still have to come to the surface to breath air.They don't, they hold their breath like we do, they can just do it a long time. During their tadpole stage, they breathe under water through their skin, using internal gills. When they mature into frogs, they develop lungs and then can only breathe air using their lungs.
frogs with gills a frogs with gills are called a tadpole
Frogs are amphibians. Meaning that they have an aquatic early stage (e.g. Tadpole). A tadpole relies mainly on gills to breath, until it undergoes metamorphosis, loses its gills, and gains lungs. Adult frogs rely mainly on lungs to breathe air, and are also able to breathe through their skin both above water and underwater.

gills
Tadpoles and frogs differ primarily in their physical form and life stage. Tadpoles are aquatic, have a streamlined body, a long tail, and breathe through gills, while frogs are terrestrial, possess limbs for jumping, and breathe through lungs. Additionally, tadpoles primarily feed on algae, whereas adult frogs are carnivorous and consume insects and other small animals. This transformation from tadpole to frog is part of their life cycle, known as metamorphosis.
Through Skin..
Tadpoles have gills.
When a tadpole first hatches, the gills are located internally and not yet functional. As the tadpole grows and develops, the gills shift to the outside of its body and become functional for breathing underwater.
As the amphibian goes from larval to tadpole stage it losses its gills and develops lungs to breathe air and also limbs are formed to walk better on land in case of frogs
yes, but they can also accomplish much respiration through their skin in highly aerated water.
No.only at tadpole stage,all frogs and toads have lungs.
