Why do you think the tadpole and the adult frog look different?
Because they have two very different parts of their life.
What stages does a tadpole go through to turn into a frog?
tadpole to frogThis is called metamorphosis. You all just need to get a lyffe! joke! i love science!The term 'Maturation' should also apply.I think also that there is another term...When a tadpole turns into a frog, we call it metamorphosis, or the process of transformation from an immature amphibian form to an adult form in two or more distinct stages.
Explain how tadpoles and frog hearts differ?
A tadpole has a two-chambered heart and a frog has a 3 chambered heart.
How many body parts does a frog have?
Frogs have four limbs, two hind legs and two forelegs.
Find out the musical names for frog and tadpole and also the other two types of notes?
NOTHING!
How long does it take for an aquatic frog tadpole to evolve into frog?
It depends on the species. The bigger the frog the longer it takes. A tiny tree frog could take a onth or two, and a huge bullfrog could take five months.
How long does it take for a tadpole to turn to a frog?
Depends on the species of frog, the country and the size of the body of water. Generally in America, eggs laid in a smaller body of water (a road rut) the eggs will evolve from a creature that has gills and is entirely needful of water to live into one that has no gills and is in need of lesser degrees of water, in about two-three months (green frog, pickeral frog). In a larger body of water--pond--the same species may take another month or more. The above process also depends on the water not becoming too warm or drying up or being polluted. Some species (bullfrog, in a lake ) can remain a tadpole for two years or more. The tiger salamander's tadpole (axolotl) in a lake where it is impossible to leave the water (steep shoreline) may retain its gills and breed. Some (Sumatra Toad) may carry on its metamorphosis within the parent and be born as a "baby" frog.
When a tadpole becomes an adult frog what two things it loses?
They lose their tail, gills, gill pouch, and part of their intestines.
How frog grow?
Amphibian lay their eggs in water and hatch in water.
What two animals change completely as they grow so that the young look nothing like the adult?
Caterpillar to a butterfly and tadpole to a frog.
Difference between frog and tadpole?
Frogs start out their life as eggs. A female frog lays the eggs, and a male frog then fertilizes the eggs. The fertilized eggs will generally take one to three weeks to hatch. What hatches from the eggs is called a tadpole. As the tadpole ages and matures, it goes through a process called metamorphosis. Throughout this phase, the body of the tadpole gradually transforms into a frog.DietWhen the tadpole first hatches, it is too frail to find food on its own. Luckily, the remainder of the yolk from its egg is in its stomach when it hatches; this sustains the tadpole for its first week of life. Once it develops strength and coordination, the tadpole will begin to feed on algae and other underwater foliage. At around two months into its life, its diet of plants is supplemented by bugs and small organisms.Soon after, the tadpole becomes a frog. Young frogs will still eat a diet that includes algae and foliage. As they mature, they become better at hunting live prey. Eventually, the staple of the diet of a frog is bugs and worms. A frog's sticky tongue traps insects. Though their diet consists mainly of bugs, some frogs have been known to eat small fish.Body StructureA tadpole starts out as a body mass with an elongated tail. As metamorphosis takes effect, it begins sprouting legs and arms and grows small teeth that allow it to eat algae and small bugs. The body elongates, and the tail shrinks. The main difference, however, in the body structure of a tadpole is that it has gills. Gills allow the tadpole to breathe underwater. This is important because it does not have legs and arms yet, or the muscular structure to support itself on land.Frogs have a strong muscular structure that allows them to be mobile both on land and in the water. Their hind legs are long and powerful, and their feet are webbed for greater swimming efficiency. Most importantly, mature frogs breathe through lungs instead of gills. Mature frogs can no longer breathe under water.MovementTadpoles have one way of moving: swimming. Tadpoles will stay in the water until they evolve into frogs. Young tadpoles are not very proficient swimmers and attach themselves to foliage until they are more developed. As they mature, the tadpoles begin to learn to swim by moving their tails back and forth.Frogs, on the other hand, can both swim and hop. The difference between a frog swimming and a tadpole swimming is the means of propulsion. Tadpoles use their tails, but frogs have no tails. Frogs use their hind legs and propel themselves forward in a kicking motion. On land, frogs can move by hopping around, something that tadpoles are not capable of.
What are two parts of the frog's body that they use for sensing the environment?
eyes and toes, mainly toes since they can use their toes to detect the slightest wave movement
