Adaptations to Meet Challenges of Life on Land. Challenges of Life on Land vs. Water. Adaptation to Meet Challenge . Air much less buoyant than water so must move against gravity. Limbs develop;. skeletal and muscle systems become stronger. Test 2: Amphibians and Reptiles:. Objective 1: Describe the characteristics of Modern Amphibians. Objective 2: Describe characteristics of the following orders: (. Apoda. , . Urodela. , . Anura. ). Give examples of each.. Amphibians are eukaryotic, heterotrophic vertebrates. They have thin, smooth, moist skin. Some of them have fish-like scales and none of them have claws.. They are ectothermic (coldblooded).. They have external gills and lungs..
