Question

The following are differences between amphibians and reptiles EXCEPT Question 4 options: a.amphibians have smooth non-scaly skin, whereas reptiles are covered with scales and their skin is dry. b.all reptiles respire by the use of lungs, while amphibians use small lungs supplemented by cutaneous respiration. c.amphibian eggs are laid in water, but reptiles do not require water for reproduction. reptiles are ectothermic, while amphibians are endothermic.

Answer 1

Answer: reptiles are ectothermic , while Amphibians are endothermic

Explanation:reptiles and Amphibians are vertebrate.reptiles are a group of air breathing vertebrates that have internal fertilization and scaly bodies.some difference between Amphibians and reptiles include

1)the presence of dried scale in reptiles to prevent water loss.in Amphibians, their skin is smooth and moist and without scale

2)reptiles have more powerful jaws

3) internal fertilization is in reptiles while fertilization is usually external in Amphibians

4)the Amphibians respire by gills, lungs , mouth or through their most skin but reptiles respire through the lungs.

But Reptiles are ectothermal and so are Amphibians

They are both terrestrial and aquatic organisms.they both have separate sexes.

Examples of Amphibians are salamander and frog.example of reptile are turtle and alligator

Answer 2

reptiles are ectothermic, while amphibians are endothermic.

Step-by-step explanation:

Organisms which depends on external environment to generate e and maintain body temperature, that is they can not generate heat for body temperature , but depend on with variation in external temperature are called Ectotherms.

Reptiles and Amphibians body temperatures can not generate body heat.Rather they fluctuates with and stabilized by that of the surrounding environments, they are therefore said to be Ectothermic.

Mammals and birds are endothermic with independent body temperature of the external environment, they generate their body temperature themselves.
