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.


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.
