They are close to the bottom layer of the food chain. In order for the survival of the species, when they reproduce, they do so in the millions so that a few of the progeny will be bound to survive sometimes.

What is a shedding of gametes into water?

A shedding of gametes into water refers to the release of reproductive cells, such as eggs and sperm, by aquatic organisms directly into the surrounding water. This method of reproduction is common in many marine organisms, such as fish and sea urchins, as well as in some freshwater species like frogs and certain types of algae. By dispersing their gametes in water, these organisms increase the likelihood of successful fertilization and subsequent development.

Why do frogs produce a huge amount of gametes at one time?

Frogs produce a large number of gametes to increase the chances of successful fertilization and ensure species survival, as many eggs and sperm may be lost to predation or environmental factors. This reproductive strategy, known as external fertilization, allows them to maximize their reproductive output in a single breeding season. Additionally, producing many gametes helps counteract high rates of mortality among embryos and larvae, increasing the likelihood that some will reach maturity.
