Chapter 25, Problem 2RQ
Summary Introduction
To describe: The different modes of respiration that are used by amphibians.
Introduction: Amphibians are cold-blooded, small vertebrate animals that depend on the water for their survival. Frogs, salamanders, and toads are some of the species of this group.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The paradox presented by the amphiumas and terrestrial plethodontids about the association of lungs with life on land.
Introduction: Plethodontids are also referred to as lungless salamanders and can be characterized by the presence of a nasolabial groove that helps in chemoreception.

- Which of the following is the correct classification for this chordate animal: This vertebrate starts its life cycle in the water in a form without legs. the adult form is a tetrapod and lives mostly on land. These animals do not have a tail and they are specialized for movement like jumping to capture prey.

Notice the differences in the structure of these 8 pairs. Compare the structures present in the first 3 pairs (modified as maxillipeds), and the last five pairs. What do you think are the main functions of the last five pairs? Crustaceans have biramous appendages. What structures are present only in the first pair? In the last pair? What do you think are the function of these structures?arrow_forward
