Vedclass · Answer

(A) Mammalian skin is thick and keratinized,making it impermeable to gases,which helps in preventing water loss. Because mammals have high metabolic rates,they require a significantly higher amount of oxygen compared to lower animals. Since cutaneous respiration (skin breathing) is insufficient to meet these high oxygen demands,mammals have evolved a complex respiratory system consisting of the nasal cavity,nasopharynx,larynx,trachea,bronchi,bronchioles,and lungs to provide a large surface area for gas exchange. Therefore,both the Assertion and the Reason are correct,and the Reason correctly explains why a complex respiratory system is necessary in mammals.
