Like most other vertebrates, amphibians achieve air-breathing by drawing air into the lungs through the mouth or nose. Intaking oxygen underwater is different - this is done by diffusion across the skin membrane. Amphibian skin is very thin and permeable, oxygen in air or dissolved in water can diffuse through the newt's skin straight into the blood which is in tiny blood vessels (capillaries) close to the surface. BUT! permeability also works the other way, this is why amphibians must spend their lives in water or damp places to avoid dessication. The gills are replaced by lungs as they become adults

∙ 10y agoNewts are amphibians and need to breathe. They can live without water for several weeks as long as they are in damp conditions and DON'T dry out. Sometimes you can find newts hiding under stones.
They are amphibians, so they do rely on a watery habitat.

∙ 12y agoAll amphibians adapt to breathing in water because they were born in water, and a quarter of their lives where spent in the water as a fish and when they grow up, they still have a little of that fish in them.

∙ 10y agoIt all depends on the ambiatric muscle tissue in the frogs anus. Yes, though hard to believe, the frog actually respirates out of its butt. Through numerous chemical reactions, the frog is able to extract the fluoride out of the water and can dive to bottoms of deep oceans.

Do amphibians breathe through their moist skins when they are in water?
Frogs use their moist skin to breathe when they are in water😊
How do frogs adapt to the water?
Through many years of evolution
What is the frogs fitness for life in water?
Frogs can breathe through their skin, which allows them to breathe underwater for long periods of time. They also have lungs, allowing them to perform strenuous activities in water.
How did sharks adapt to their habitat?
becase their got gills then they can breathe the water
Do frogs live by water?
Yes. They are amphibians, which means they can breathe in water and on land. Also, they need water to breed and reproduce because baby frogs or tadpoles only live in the water (they do not grow the organsnecessaryto breathe on land until they are full grown).
Why do frogs have to live on land and water?
because they have gills to breathe on both lands
How do frogs breathe in water and on land?
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.
Why do frogs migrate?
Frogs adapt to live in their environment.
Do frog develop bubble for breathing?
Frogs can breathe underwater only for 20 minutes at a time. They breathe by using oxygen that is dissolved into the water and breathe through their skin.
What are two structures in animals that are the same purpose as lungs?
fish breathe through their gills. frogs breathe through their legs while in water.
