1) When they are juveniles, they are in an aquatic larval or 'tadpole' stage that need water to breathe thru their primitive gills. 2) Amphibians have smooth, scaleless skin which is permeable to water. Water can evaporate easily from the skin, and an amphibian can dry up and die in a few hours if it does not have access to water. Thus amphibians tend to be active at times when evaporation is minimized: at night and when it rains.However, this same skin permeability makes it possible for amphibians to obtain moisture from sources besides pools of water. This means that amphibians can live in very dry climates, like deserts, and when the dry season arrives, they just burrow underground and pull in moisture from the surrounding soil. Despite this, the amphibian's tie to water remains: their eggs must be laid in water in order to survive. Reference: http://redpath-museum.mcgill.ca/Qbp/herps/herps.html
amphibians have a protective skin which contains mucous glands to keep it moist and pigment cells to regulate its color, has a nictitating membrane or a membrane that covers the amphibians eye underwater, and the Eustachian tube which allows pressure within the ear equal out with the pressure outside.
It is all slimy mainly because snakes and frogs and other amphibians also reptiles usually have moist skin.
Amphibians need moist skin to be able to easily adapt to dry land or the water. This is because an amphibian's respiratory system must be able to adapt to either condition and thin, moist skin makes this easier.
The eyelid
True.
I would say that is one good answer.
No only reptiles. Amphibians have moist permeable skin.
Amphibians breathes through their skin, they accumulate enough air from the moist on their skin. If there is no moist, they will die.
Yes, amphibians are typically moist.
Characteristics that resctrict amphibians to water include: 1) They breathe through their skin, which needs to be moist. 2) Their eggs are fertilized via external fertilization, which requires water. 3) They have gills which only functions in water.
amphibians
they need to keep there skin moist
Because amphibians need to be moist.
Amphibians do
No - they have moist skin
Animals who need to have moist skin are amphibians, such as frogs.
The animal that has moist skin with no scales are amphibians.
