What major physical changes occur in the metamorphosis from the tadpole stage to the adult stage that enable the adult frog to survive on land?
At birth, a tadpole is essentially a head with eyes and a tail. Many internal changes must occur before a tadpole is ready to be a land dwelling frog. As a tadpole grows, she will develop bones. The tadpole must also grow some new internal organs, the most important of which are the lungs, and a fully grown heart.
What are three differences between a frog and a tadpole?
The first difference is that a tadpole (after being hatched) has gills because its body has not developed enough muscular structure to survive on land, so it live underwater, the frog however breaths through lungs (mature frogs cannot breath underwater). Second, a tadpole has a tail, while a frog is tailless. Third, a tadpole does not have any legs (until later in life) while a frog has very long hind legs for leaping.
How long can a tadpole remain out of the water and survive?
It doesn't.
What types of land cannot support large population?
