Frogs

Um... i think i read somewhere that the longest recorded jump by a a frog was 21 feet. But I'm not sure. I'm doing a report on frogs for school and i needed to know the answer too. Try WWW.ask.com they usually have good stuff.

Most frogs are able to survive in the wild by blending in with their surroundings. Some frogs don't have to because they produce a toxin on their skin that can harm or kill their potential predator.

The process of a tadpole developing into a frog is called metamorphosis. During this process, the tadpole undergoes physical changes, such as the growth of limbs and the absorption of the tail, to become a frog.

Blood cells are round, actually biconcave disc shape because that makes them very efficient for gas exchange because they have a large surface area.
Red blood cells are round in shape so as to allow for swift and efficient movement throughout the bloodstream. Any other shape would be apt to cause clotting.

People who are ranivorous are eating frogs or primarily consuming a diet of frogs.

Yes, the age of a frog can be considered a control variable in an experiment if researchers want to study the effects of other factors while keeping the age constant. By controlling for age, researchers can isolate the impact of other variables on the frog's behavior or physiology.

The Corroboree frog, especially the Southern Corroboree frog, is endangered due to human encroachment on their habitat, by feral animals, and by extended droughts (this delays mating and thereby causes death for many tadpoles). There is also a fungus introduced to the region that was mostly fatal to the frogs.

A frog's eyes are on top of its head and this gives it a field of vision that's nearly 180 degrees. Its eyes also help the frog push food down its throat. This happens because when a frog swallows, the movement causes its eyes to be pulled down into the roof of its mouth. Frogs have fantastic night vision.

Some functions of a frog's eye are:

1. To see danger

2. To find prey/ mostly insects

3. To swallow food by pushing down on the prey (the frog is able to do this because the frog's eyes are connected to the roof of its mouth)

The purpose of a frogs eye is to hunt food and escape enemies with excellent night vision at night, and during day, If they are hunting.

Frogs use their eyes to catch prey, or in general, to see things.

Yes, some species of frogs do eat pill bugs as part of their diet. Pill bugs are a source of protein and moisture for frogs, making them a suitable prey. However, not all frog species will consume pill bugs, as their diet can vary based on their natural habitat and availability of food.

The original Latin for frog is "rana". This also is the name of the genus in which most of the species of frog are found.

Frogs use gills in the tadpole stage, and develop lungs later on when they lose their gills. As adults, they also are able to breathe by simply inflating a pouch in their mouths, which is a third type of respiration unique to frogs.

To keep frogs out of a hot tub, you can install a cover securely when the hot tub is not in use. You can also remove any attractants such as insects or algae from the area around the hot tub. Another option is to create barriers such as fences or nets to prevent frogs from entering the hot tub.

See related links for my source, as I am not good with labs. Animal Safety: "

Treat live or preserved animals or animal parts with care to avoid harming the animals or yourself. Wash your hands when you are finished with the activity."

Also, Hand Washing: "

When this symbol appears, follow the instructions provided. When you are asked to develop your own procedure in a lab, have your teacher approve your plan before you go further."

The dark center of a frog blood cell is the cell nucleus, which contains genetic material such as DNA. The nucleus is responsible for controlling cell activities and regulating gene expression.

Frogs are not invertebrates; they are vertebrates. They belong to the class Amphibia, along with salamanders and caecilians. Frogs have a backbone and a complex nervous system, distinguishing them from invertebrates which lack a backbone.

Gorillas are large, herbivorous primates found in Africa, while frogs are small, amphibious animals found worldwide. Gorillas have a muscular build and are predominantly terrestrial, while frogs have a slimy skin and typically live near water. Gorillas are mammals, while frogs are amphibians with a unique life cycle that involves metamorphosis.

No, tadpoles come from eggs laid by adult frogs or toads in bodies of water like ponds or lakes. Bird feces can sometimes act as a vehicle for the spread of frog eggs, but tadpoles themselves do not come from bird poop.

Mammals, birds, and reptiles lay amniotic eggs, and frogs and toads are none of these, so, no, frogs and toads do not have amniotic eggs. Amniotic eggs contain a yolk and aid in gas and energy exchange.

Red frogs are sometimes dangerous, depending on their species. Their skin secretes a substance that is poisonous to a lot of animals. It does this in order to protect itself from predators that might try to eat it. But a lot of other frogs adapt this skin color as a protection also - except that these frogs don't secrete any poison. It's just the natural shock of the color that makes other predators think that some frogs may be poisonous and that they must avoid them, when they actually aren't poisonous. ~ Hexedgirl2

Both plants and frogs have transport systems that move substances throughout their bodies. In plants, water and nutrients are transported through xylem and phloem vessels, while in frogs, blood circulates through blood vessels. Both systems are essential for delivering necessary materials and removing waste.

If a poisonous snake or a constrictor type snake can catch a sparrow, it will kill and eat it.

In general, male frogs tend to have smaller fat bodies compared to female frogs. Female frogs need more energy to support their reproductive activities such as producing eggs, so they have larger fat bodies to store this energy.

Yes, they do.

Molting is the process by which insects grow. Generally accomplished through the early years of the insect's existence, molting allows the body of the insect to expand under controlled and protected conditions. In comparison, our (human) bodies expand with the growing of our bones and muscles as we age. Insects, on the other hand, utilize what is called an exoskeleton. This exoskeleton is basically their underlying bone structure that is located on the outside of their bodies with corresponding organs and muscles located underneath this hard shell. So in order for the insect to grow - i.e. increase in size - the insect must shed its current skin in favor of the new skin underneath. This process is known in the insect world was molting.

To undergo the process of molting, an insect must begin to take in air or water by either swallowing it in naturally or raising its internal blood pressure. This instigates the process of molting that begins. The result is a soft, expandable exoskeleton suitable for further, albeit limited, growth. This process is repeated several times during the life span of an insect depending on the species. The new exoskeleton will eventually harden and retain the original coloring of the insect as it matures and is exposed to the elements and everyday wear-and-tear.

Depending on the species, molting can actually occur about 5 to 60 times in the life span of an insect and is generally regarded as one of the most vulnerable processes that an insect can go through. Yet this process is naturally required by insects to continue to grow into a full adult stage. Not surprisingly, molting is not limited to insect species alone as even spiders and snakes undergo the procedure as needed.

No, frogs do not have eyelashes. A frog does have eyelids. They have both an upper and lower eyelid. The upper eyelid on the frog is a skin fold and the lower eyelid is a translucent membrane.
