Frogs use the muscles of their eyes and pull their eyeballs down which pushes the pray down. The tongue is rather used for catching and holding the pray. Tongueless frogs (Pipidae) push their food in their mouth with there front legs. This looks strange, as the frogs 'eats with his hands'.
What else can I help you with?
A frog does not chew his food What do the positions of its teeth suggest about how the frog uses them?
The positioning of a frog's teeth, which are located on the upper jaw, suggest that they are mainly used for gripping and holding onto prey rather than for chewing. Frogs typically swallow their food whole and rely on powerful jaws and a strong throat muscle to push the food down their throat.
Since frog lungs are poorly developed what else do frogs do to breathe?
Frogs primarily use their skin to absorb oxygen from the environment through a process called cutaneous respiration. They also have buccal pumping, where they use their throat muscles to push air into their lungs. Additionally, frogs can absorb a small amount of oxygen through their mouth lining while keeping their mouths closed.
How do tree frogs use photosynthesis?
Tree frogs do not undergo photosynthesis. They are heterotrophic organisms, meaning they obtain their energy by consuming other organisms. Photosynthesis is a process in which plants and certain bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy to synthesize food.
Which organelle breaks down food into molecules it can use?
the mitochondrion
The process all living things use to break down food using oxygen from food in a process called?
Digestive system
How do frogs use their teeth if not to chew food?
The position of their teeth allows them to hold down their prey in their mouth so they can break it down with their saliva, then push the food down the esophagus with their eyes. This is because frogs can't chew or swallow their food, so they have to push it down their throat, and have it broken down in their mouth.
How does the food move down the esophagus?
The food moves in the food pipe because muscles push it down into the stomach.
Why do frogs have no teeth?
Frogs swallow their food whole so teeth are an unnecessary burden and have been dismissed. ---- Actually, frogs do have teeth. They are carnivores and, not only do they catch and eat insects, but they even catch tiny mammals such as bats. However, frogs do not use their teeth for chewing, but for gripping the food. Frogs' eyes actually push down into their heads to help with the swallowing process.
How do frogs break down there food?
Frogs primarily break down their food through a combination of mechanical and chemical processes. They use their strong tongues to catch prey, which is then swallowed whole; frogs generally do not chew their food. The food passes into their stomach, where digestive enzymes break it down into smaller, absorbable nutrients before it moves into the intestines for further digestion and absorption. This efficient process allows frogs to quickly extract energy from their prey.
How do tree frogs eat?
They eat by first spotting food then leaping at it and snatching it in their mouths (unlike other frogs they do not use their tongues) and shoving the food straight down their gullet whole, with the help of their little hands to help shove it down.
How do Green tree frogs eat?

How do frogs retract their eyes?
It's not so much as how they retract their eyes (im pretty sure they use muscles for that) as to what the eye retraction actually does. Frogs actually retract their eyes in order to swallow. Their eyes get pulled into the sockets and bulge in the top of their mouths, which helps them swallow. It is strange, but true. XD
Do frogs use their eyeballs to chew their food?
no
What do frogs use to create food?
Ther legs
Why do frogs open and close their mouths?
Frogs open and close their mouths to breathe. They don't have diaphragms to help them breathe, so they use muscles in their mouth to push air into their lungs. They also use this action to help them swallow food.
Where and how do frogs finds its food?
Frogs all use sight, and strike at their prey usually by ambush.
What organs and muscles does a frog use to catch and digest its food?
they use their tongue to catch the food, they use their mouth to chew it, they use their eyes to push the food down it's throat, their esophogus to swallow and their food, their pancreas to produce digestive enzymes and their stomach as a place to digest it.
