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.

How do adult frogs breathe?

Adult frogs usually breathe through their skin and lungs. They absorb oxygen through their moist skin, which is rich in blood vessels, when on land. When in water, frogs rely more on their lungs for respiration, taking in oxygen from the water through specialized sac-like structures.

How do frogs breathe?

Frogs are amphibians. They can breathe using their lungs* on land, or absorb oxygen through their skins when underwater (this is called cutaneous respiration). Lacking diaphragm muscles, frogs on land may be said to "swallow" air : they inhale air through their nostrils, inflating skin sacs in their throats, then press down with the mouth muscles to force it into the lungs. (*At least one very rare species of frogs lacks lungs altogether, relying exclusively on absorption through the skin.)


What do adult frogs breathe with?

Their Answer: They breathe with their lungs because they live on land!!!!!!!!!!!! My Answer: They actually breathe through their skin, and the skin must be kept moist or it dies. That is why frogs die if you put common table salt on it. Also, most frogs live in ponds and streams, and not on land.


Is the frog adapted to life on land?

Frogs are semi-aquatic animals with adaptations for both land and water. They have moist skin that helps with gas exchange and can absorb water, but they also have lungs to breathe air. They have muscular hind legs for jumping on land and webbed feet for swimming in water.

Frogs have moist skin that needs to stay damp to breathe through their skin. On land, their skin can dry out quickly, leading to dehydration and difficulty breathing. Additionally, frogs lay their eggs in water, so they need to be near water to reproduce.
