What are reptiles unable to absorb through their skin because of scales?
- Correct Answer: oxygen
- carbon
- food
- water
Explanation: The scales of reptiles prevent them from absorbing oxygen through their skin, as amphibians can. Instead, reptiles breathe air only through their lungs. However, their lungs are more efficient than the lungs of amphibians, with more surface area for gas exchange. This is another important reptile adaptation for life on land.
