• Amoeba

Answer 1

In one of the following organisms, the gaseous exchange during respiration does not take place through cell membrane/skin. This organism is electric eel.

Explanation:

Earthworms and leeches exchange gases through their moist skin (cell membrane/skin). However, an electric eel is a fish and respires through gills, not through skin or cell membrane. Therefore, gaseous exchange does not occur through the skin in an electric eel.
