Chapter 25, Problem 4RQ
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The manners that made amphibians adapted to life on the earth.
Introduction:
Amphibians are the animals which were evolved from the fishes and can spend their lives in both “water and land” habitats. The larvas of amphibians spend their life in the water but adult amphibians can reside on the land as well.
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The types of limitations of amphibians to live in the moist or watery environment.
Introduction:
The amphibians can survive in the watery and terrestrial habitats, but as the amphibians are higher to aquatic animals and adapted to terrestrial life so they find some limitations in surviving in water.
