The skin is composed of thin membranous tissue that is quite permeable to water and contains a large network of blood vessels. The thin membranous skin is allows the respiratory gases to readily diffuse directly down their gradients between the blood vessels and the surroundings. When the frog is out of the water, mucus glands in the skin keep the frog moist, which helps absorb dissolved oxygen from the air.
A frog may also breathe much like a human, by taking air in through their nostrils and down into their lungs. The mechanism of taking air into the lungs is however sligthly different than in humans. Frogs do not have ribs nor a diaphragm, which in humans helps serve in expand the chest and thereby decreasing the pressure in the lungs allowing outside air to flow in.
In order to draw air into its mouth the frog lowers the floor of its mouth, which causes the throat to expand. Then the nostrils open allowing air to enter the enlarged mouth. The nostrils then close and the air in the mouth is forced into the lungs by contraction of the floor of the mouth. To elimate the carbon dioxide in the lungs the floor of the mouth moves down, drawing the air out of the lungs and into the mouth. Finally the nostrils are opened and the floor of the mouth moved up pushing the air out of the nostrils.
Frogs also have a respiratory surface on the lining of their mouth on which gas exchange takes place readily. While at rest, this process is their predominate form of breathing, only fills the lungs occasionally. This is because the lungs, which only adults have, are poorly developed.
Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:
In 10th grade , Natalie fits the societal ideal of a slender body type . She is most likely a(n) :
A) late-maturer.
B) average-maturer.
C) prepubescent.
D) early-maturer.
Answer:
D) early-maturer.
Explanation:
If Natalie is in 10th grade, it means she is around 15-16 years old. This is an age when the body is being modeled after the molds of an adult body. However, children's characteristics should still be present at this age.
This is not what is happening to Natalie, since at this age she has a body that fits society's standards for a slim body. These standards of beauty in society are aimed at adult bodies, Natalie is not an adult, which shows that she is a person with early maturity.

they help hold the soil in place because of their roots
Answer:
a sequence of DNA responsible for coding a protein = gene
The complex range of alleles an organism carries for... = genotype
an allele that determines... = dominant gene
the observable characteristics= phenotype
The combination of compression and high temperature causes the carbon bonds in the organic matter to break down. This molecular breakdown produces thermogenic methane natural gas.
