, how do special blood vessels in frog skin facilitate their unique respiratory process, and what might happen if their skin dries out?(1 point)

Responses

The blood vessels in frog skin allow them to yawn more effectively; if their skin dries out, they would yawn less.

The blood vessels enable direct oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide release through the skin; if their skin dries out, cutaneous respiration would be impaired, affecting their oxygen intake.

The correct response is:

"The blood vessels enable direct oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide release through the skin; if their skin dries out, cutaneous respiration would be impaired, affecting their oxygen intake."

This response accurately describes the role of the specialized blood vessels in frog skin for cutaneous respiration, which is crucial for their gas exchange, and emphasizes the adverse effects of skin drying on this process.
