Step-by-step explanation:

amphibians have smooth, sticky wet and highly porous skin to perform various functions.

reptiles have a dry, hard and scaly skin, which guards them in harsh conditions.

amphibians lay their eggs in water and cover them with gel.

reptiles lay their eggs on land and have a hard protective shell.
