Introduction:
Amphibians include frogs, toads, salamanders, newts, and legless caecilians. Most amphibians are distinguished by moist skin without scales, four legs, exchange of gases through skin, a circulatory system with double loop, lungs, and aquatic larvae.
Explanation of Solution
The amphibian ear shows the adaptation to life on land. The tympanic membrane is an eardrum. In frogs, it is a thin outer membrane on the side of the head. Frogs use their tympanic membrane to hear high pitched sounds and to amplify sounds from the vocal cords.
Thus, the tympanic membrane enables amphibians to hear the various sounds. It helps the amphibians to hear the sounds of high frequency.
