Beginning in the early 1980s, biologists began to realize that amphibians such as frogs are extremely sensitive to pollution and other environmental stresses. Declines in amphibian numbers and increases in deformed bodies have led scientists to investigate the role of habitat loss, increased ultraviolet radiation (due to ozone depletion), and chemical pollution in these important changes. No one is sure why amphibians are so sensitive to pollution, but it may be linked to the fact that their skin is relatively thin and permeable to water, so frogs are exposed more directly to pollutants and environmental radiation. In addition, their eggs are laid in ponds and other water bodies, so they can absorb whatever chemical pollution may be present throughout their early developmental period.
What else can I help you with?
Why are reptiles more sensitive to changes in the environment?
Cause they are cold blooded, there tempatures are determined by the tempature of the enviorment they are in and the cold sucks...
Do frogs live in hot water?
No, frogs cannot survive in hot water. Their bodies are not adapted to withstand high temperatures and they are very sensitive to changes in temperature. They require cooler, more moderate environments to thrive.
Are short-term bond prices are more sensitive to interest rate changes than are long-term bond prices?
No, longer term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes.
Why do chameleons die so fast?
Chameleons have a fast metabolism and are sensitive to changes in their environment, which can make them more prone to stress and illness, leading to a shorter lifespan compared to other animals.
How frogs helps in your environment?
Frogs eat flies and bad bugs so we wont get sting by bees and other stuff. Frogs help by farting oxygen so we have more oxygen to breathe
How is a frog useful to man?
If there where no frogs there would be a massive amount of insects everywhere. So the benefit of the frogs are to keep us safe from insects. Some places around the world have lose of frogs and resulting to forests covered in webs and even people having to move out because of insects.
Why does my baby scream during diaper changes?
Babies may scream during diaper changes due to feeling cold, discomfort, or wanting attention. They may also be sensitive to the change in routine or feeling restricted. Providing a warm environment, using gentle movements, and engaging with your baby can help make diaper changes more pleasant.
Is your body more sensitive to changes in carbon dioxide or oxygen levels?
The body is more sensitive to changes in carbon dioxide levels than oxygen levels. Carbon dioxide levels in the blood are tightly regulated by the body and even small changes can trigger the respiratory system to adjust breathing rates. Oxygen levels, on the other hand, have a more gradual impact on breathing regulation.
Can kids with asthma be around a puppy?
Asthmatics are sensitive to many contaminants in the environment. Not all asthmatics are sensitive to exactly the same things. Cats are usually more trouble than dogs.
What is the comparative and superlative of the word sensitive?
Comparative: more sensitive Superlative: most sensitive
What is more sensitive sight or hearing?
Hearing is generally more sensitive than sight in terms of perceiving stimuli. Our ears can detect a wider range of frequencies and are more sensitive to subtle changes in sound compared to our eyesight. Additionally, auditory cues can be perceived from a greater distance compared to visual cues.
What are the things that are found near the environment where the frogs live?
There are many environments were a frog can live, so there are many things around their environment. Here are someof them from each environment they can live in(they are not in any particular order): grasses,trees,insects,mud,dirt,sand,birds,primates,ponds*,marshes*,bogs*,swamps*,forests*,deserts*, and much more!*These are some of the many habitats frogs can live in. I put them so you can think of more things in their environment.
