Question

How is the akin of frog similar to a fish​

Answer 1

Answer:

Have you ever touched a fish? Most fish will feel a bit rough - due to their scales. Some, like sharks, will feel like sandpaper. Even fish with small, smoother scales will feel a bit like that. Amphibians don’t have scales, and most species will be wet to some degree - they have to keep their skin moist or they’ll die. A few groups, like toads and newts, have rougher skin, which is heavier and thicker, which allows them to retain moisture better away from water.

Functionally, the big thing about amphibian skin is that it is semi-permeable. Amphibians can breathe through their skin - all amphibians can get some oxygen through their skin, but some species of salamanders get all their oxygen that way - they have no lungs or gills. The skin can also allow water in - sort of like a paper towel. The bad thing is that other chemicals can pass through the skin, too - pollutants and other chemicals tend to affect amphibians far more than they do other groups.

Amphibians also shed their skin - fish do not. People don’t tend to see frogs shedding their skin often, though, since they eat it to regain nutrients and other resources in the skin.

Finally, since amphibian skin offers no defense against predators in the way that scales do, and limited barrier against disease the way non-amphibian skin does (shedding helps), the skin of many amphibians contain toxins, and some of them have anti-fungal properties (typically due to symbiotic bacteria). Many species have evolved chemical defenses in the skin, while others have glands that produce toxins that can be secreted outside of the skin.

The skin can withstand dessication more than the fish.

They have moist skin used as respiratory surface during deep sleep / hibernation.

They have moist skin due to secretion of mucus by glands under the skin.
