What Two ways in which many amphibians can breathe?
i guess lungs and gills. gills at the earlier stage and lungs at the maturity.
Where do amphibians get oxygen?
From there souroundings Amphibians as larvea or tadpoles use gills to obtain oxygen. They then go into a metamorphic stage where they have both gills and developing lungs, and as adult they breath through lungs as we do.
What do amphibians develop as they grow besides their lungs?
Amphibians grow legs and feet. If you look at tadpoles at about the three week stage, they start to develop their legs and feet while in the water
What is a salamander before it is a salamander?
First an embryo (egg-stage), later a larva (freeswimming stage)
What is the point of amphibians of having gills and lungs?
Not all amphibians do, some salamanders are live-bearers and some frogs lack a larval stage, they leave their egg as a small frog. Most amphibians do have a larval stage with gills, some will never drop the gills (neonetism) and most frogs and some salamanders will develop lungs. Most salamanders dont have lungs and breathe through their skin. There is no specified reason for having gills and lungs at different stages of their life cycle; apparently it is a good strategy. If it wasn't, frogs would be extinct ;)
How do amphibians like frogs and salamanders breathe?
Amphibians as larvea or tadpoles use gills to obtain oxygen. They then go into a metamorphic stage where they have both gills and developing lungs, and as adult they breath through lungs as we do.
What is special about the life cycle of amphibians?
Amphibians are the only vertebrates with a larval stage.
Do amphibians have fins scales and gills?
Yes, especially in the larval stage. Most species lose their gills when they become an adult, but there are some exceptions.
Do amphibians breathe with lungs or gill?
When amphibians are young, such as tadpoles, they breath using gills and spiracle. When they metamorphose and reach their adult state they start to breathe air out of lungs. Adult amphibians respire (take in oxygen and let out carbon dioxide) through the skin. They also have other organs of respiration, including gills in the young of all species and the adults of some species, and lungs in the adults of almost all species. Some amphibians can also respire through the mucous membranes of the mouth. Extra note: I have not found evidence of any animal that has both lungs and gills at the same time.
What are three characteristics of an amphibians?
Cold blooded, moist skin, can liv on land and water but not in hot places
What are the 2 major parts of amphibians?
Amfibians have a larval stage and a (sub)adult stage.
At which stage of metamorphosis do amphibians develop limbs?
Fifth
