Answer:

You are not surprised, because as a veterinarian you know that the lung of lizards must be more developed than that of frogs, because reptiles depend exclusively on lung breathing.

Explanation:

Caterpillars are reptiles, while frogs are amphibians. This information alone allows us to conclude because the internal surface of the lizard's lung is larger than the internal surface of the frog's lung.

This is because, as we know, reptiles depend exclusively on lung breathing, excluding the need for breathing through the skin (as is done by amphibians). This makes the lungs of the reptiles much more developed, presenting larger and more complex structures with a large number of internal surfaces and alveoli.

Amphibians, on the other hand, perform breathing through the skin, helping the lungs, which need not be as developed and complex.

Write a short story describing the application of the system of classification of living creatures
Citrus2011 [14]
All living creatures are classified into systems and sub-systems based on their similar characteristics. They are divided from bigger groups into smaller groups based on the detail of their similarities i.e. how they look, move, reproduce and how they relate to each other. A practical way of understanding the classification of living organisms is that organisms are linked to other similar organisms via family trees. The classification of all living creatures includes at least four levels: order, families, genus and species.
