A frog is split into two colors. The top portion (dorsal) is dark so it can avoid predators looking for an easy meal. The bottom portion (ventral) is light so it can find food without being spotted.
The distinguishing feature of a spider with a black back is its dark-colored dorsal side.
False. The light reactions of photosynthesis require light to convert solar energy into chemical energy, while the dark reactions (Calvin cycle) do not directly rely on light and can occur in both light and dark conditions. However, the dark reactions are indirectly dependent on the products of the light reactions.
The process is called dark adaptation. It occurs when your photoreceptors in the retina become more sensitive to light in low-light environments after being exposed to bright light.
Mosquitoes are more attracted to dark colors than light colors.
The light reactions provide energy carriers for the dark reactions.
The dorsal side has a more dark color so that it is able to blend in with moss or lily pads in the water. Where as the ventral side is a more yellow color so it blend with plants underneath the water and out of preys sight.
the advantage is that so they can see when they are dark and light. im hungry.. make me a sandwich. kthxbye
It is a camoflauge technique to hide from either predator or prey - from above, the dark dorsal makes it harder to see against the background of the dark depths; from below, the light ventral makes it harder to see against the lighter back ground of sunlit waters. For obvious reasons, this skin coloration is only seen on organisms living in the euphotic zone.
greenAnother AnswerA green sea turtle is a dark green on the dorsal side (back) and a light cream or white color on the ventral side (bottom).
Frogs usually have a dark green or brown dorsal color and a white or yellowish ventral color. This helps them blend in with the water surface from above and the water surface from below as well giving protection from underwater and above water predators.
the color of a frogs heart, is light blue and dark green
The dark line on the dorsal side of an earthworm is called the dorsal blood vessel or the dorsal blood vessel line. It is part of the earthworm's circulatory system and helps transport blood throughout its body.
This is one of nature's most common camouflage methods for creatures that live in, or spend a lot of time in, the water. When viewed from below, they blend into the (lighter) sky. When viewed from above, they blend into the (darker) bottom of the pond or lake. Most fish also have this color arrangement.
A grass frog is light brown with dark brown spots around him. A bit like on wood.
The Dark Frog - 2011 was released on: USA: 4 March 2011
An eastern barred bandicoot has a pointed snout and large ears. Its dorsal (back) fur is dark brown, and its ventral (belly) fur is white. Two white stripes extend onto the dorsal surface, going horizontally, near the base of the tail. Its head-and-body length is about twelve and a half inches, and its tail length is about three and a half inches.
The frog was given this name by Franz Steindachner in 1864, Dendrobates is the group (genus) to wich the frog belongs. The species epithet leuco-melas literally means 'light and dark'.
