@shreehari499

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (shreehari499):

Ok here a truble arises...:) The answer here too can be both lungs and skin..bt mostly lungs..But the exception here is frogs which we all know use both lungs as well as skin...but the total number of known amphibian species is approximately 7,000, of which nearly 90% are frogs..so both lungs and skin are the answers..:)

OpenStudy (abhisar):

But if u hav to choose one among them...How will u decide which one is more important ?

OpenStudy (shreehari499):

Then I'll go for lungs because Frogs also use lungs and the remaining 10% of the Amphibians also use lungs..So the Majority Wins!

OpenStudy (abhisar):

I feel since frogs spend most of there time bathing and having fun so skin should be the answer !!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But if the skin dries out then they cant breath....there fore not allowing gas exchange

OpenStudy (anonymous):

soo its skin

OpenStudy (abhisar):

@shreehari499

OpenStudy (shreehari499):

OpenStudy (abhisar):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (shreehari499):

Ok...there are two classification in that too..There are both Frogs as well as toads...But since the qn here is only amphibians.. so..I'm I'll go for lungs...But we ALL TOADS ARE FROGS! So I quit!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Definetly...lets go take a bath now...it's too hot !!!!

OpenStudy (shreehari499):
