The nictitating membrane is a translucent membrane at the bottom of the eye that can be pulled up right across the eye. It is not an eyelid because the frog can still see when the membrane is raised. It is used when swimming or when insects are swarming around the frog's eyes, and also for keeping the eyes moist when it is windy.

What is the protective cover on the frog's eye that helps it see underwater?

Crocodilians have a transparent nictating membrane which serves as a secondary eyelid. This inner eyelid moves from the sides while the outer eyelid moves up and down. When this transparent eye-lid is engaged, it does limit visual ability somewhat, especially in muddy, darker water. However, it protects the main eye from damage that may be caused by debris in the water (or even during scuffles with fellow crocodilians). When visual ability is limited, crocodilians have a keen sense of smell to help back them up.

Why is the skin of the frog suitable as a minor respiratory organ?

The skin of a frog is suitable as a minor respiratory organ because it is thin and moist, allowing for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange to occur directly through the skin. The capillaries near the skin surface help facilitate gas exchange, making it an efficient way for frogs to breathe, particularly when they are underwater or in environments with low oxygen levels.
