The correct Answer is:
### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Structure of the Amphibian Heart**: - Amphibians, such as frogs, have a heart that consists of three chambers. 2. **Understand the Composition of the Heart**: - The three chambers include one ventricle and two atria. 3. **Blood Flow in the Amphibian Heart**: - Blood from the ventricle is pumped to two main areas: the lungs and the skin for oxygenation, as well as to the rest of the body. 4. **Mixing of Blood**: - In the ventricle, oxygenated blood (from the lungs and skin) and deoxygenated blood (returning from the body) mix before being pumped out. 5. **Metabolic Needs of Amphibians**: - Amphibians have a lower metabolic rate, which means they require less oxygen compared to other animals. This lower demand allows for a less efficient heart structure. 6. **Conclusion**: - Given the structure and function of the amphibian heart, it is concluded that the amphibian heart is three-chambered, consisting of one ventricle and two atria. ### Final Answer: The amphibian heart is **three-chambered**.
