Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that frogs are amphibians, which means they have adaptations for living both in water and on land.
Recognize that frogs have multiple methods of respiration, including lungs, skin, and gills, depending on their environment.
When frogs are on land, they primarily use their lungs for breathing, similar to mammals. This is because lungs are efficient for gas exchange in air.
Frogs also have the ability to breathe through their skin, a process known as cutaneous respiration, which supplements lung breathing but is not the primary method on land.
Consider the fact that gills are used by frogs primarily during their larval stage (tadpoles) when they are in water, not when they are on land.
