How does frog skeleton differs from man's skeleton?
Most of the human bones are found in the frog skeleton but there are tree major differences;
*The pelvis is forked
*some bones unfused in humans are fused in frogs, like the tibia and fibula into the tibiofibula
*most frogs have no ribs
What external features that frog live on land and water?
Frogs have moist skin, webbed feet, and powerful hind limbs that allow them to live both on land and in water. This combination of features helps them to efficiently move and breathe in both environments.
How does frog respire during hibernation?
During hibernation, frogs have very low metabolic rates, which reduces the need for oxygen. They absorb oxygen through their skin and membranes in the mouth, while releasing carbon dioxide. Their respiration slows down significantly to conserve energy during hibernation.
Does the frog have an exoskeleton?
No, frogs do not have exoskeletons.
Specifically, the term comes from the Greek words á¼â€ÃŽÂ¾Ã‰ (éxÃ…Â "outer") and ÃÆ’κελεÄÌ (skeletos, "skeleton"). It describes a skeleton which protects and supports its owner's body from the outside. In contrast, the internally-located, endoskeleton of a frog protects and supports the amphibian's body from the inside.
What kind of turtle eats frogs?
Snappers are one kind of turtle that eats frogs.
Specifically, the term snappers functions as a common name for snapping turtles. It is used to refer to alligator (Macrochelys temminckii) and common (Chelydra serpentina) snapping turtles. Both share an appreciation for amphibians in general and frogs in particular when it comes to prey.
No, not all frogs have a scapula. Some frog species, like the aquatic frogs, have reduced or even absent scapulae as they have adapted to their specific environments.
What is the foamy spit on plants?
Foamy spit on plants is typically caused by spittlebugs, which are small insects that feed on plant sap. They create the foam by blowing air into the sap they excrete, which helps to protect them from predators and regulate temperature and humidity. It is usually not harmful to the plant, but heavy infestations can potentially damage the plant's growth.
What does an internal nare do in a frog?
An internal nare in a frog is a passage in the oral cavity that connects the mouth to the nostrils. It plays a role in respiration by allowing the frog to breathe while keeping its mouth closed, such as when submerged in water.
What are 4 Substances that pass out of the frogs body through the cloaca and vent?
What is the difference between the frog skin and human skin?
Humans have large ears that stick out (the sticking out part is called the pinna.) Frogs have small disk-hole things on the sides of their heads. Another difference is frogs only have one bone in their ear.
Why are reptiles considered much better adapted to land than amphibians?
Reptiles have scaly skin that helps prevent water loss, compared to the permeable skin of amphibians that requires moisture to breathe and stay hydrated. Additionally, reptiles have more efficient lungs that allow them to fully rely on breathing air, while amphibians have dual respiration capabilities through both lungs and skin. Lastly, reptiles lay amniotic eggs with protective shells that allow for successful reproduction on land, unlike amphibians that typically rely on aquatic environments for their eggs to develop.
What three adaptations were needed for chordates to move from living in water to living on land?
Three key adaptations were needed for chordates to transition from living in water to living on land: development of lungs for breathing air, evolution of limbs for moving and supporting body weight on land, and changes in reproductive strategies to prevent desiccation of eggs.
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.
Can frogs be called carnivores?
Yes, frogs generally can be called carnivores.
Specifically, frogs can be considered carnivorous since they generally favor an animal tissue-based diet. But they consider what is immediately available in the environment and plan their diets accordingly. It therefore is possible to find frogs that appear to be omnivorous in opportunistically feeding on animal and plant tissues and others that survive as plant-eaters.
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.
How old is the oldest frog fossil?
I have an albino African clawed frog that is 16 years old.
I have one that turned 22 in March of 2009!
What does the archenteron become in the adult?
The archenteron, which develops into the digestive system of an animal, is formed during gastrulation, the process by which the cells of a blastula are partitioned into three separate germ layers.
The coqui frog is not currently considered endangered. However, some species of coqui frogs are experiencing population declines due to habitat loss and the introduction of non-native species, particularly in Puerto Rico. Conservation efforts are being implemented to protect these frogs and their habitats.
Can you feed a tadpole fish food?
tadpoles can eat fish food turtle food mangoes tomatoes and any none poisons plants and they realy like frozen leatous note tad poles like to have a large living space so put them in a fish tank also note dont forget to feed them they will turn carnavoris and eat each other !!!
What is the name for a frog reproduction and a human reproduction?
A human reproduction is called fusing frogs are lay eggs
Why do all the frogs stop croaking all at once suddenly?
Frogs may stop croaking all at once suddenly if they sense danger or a predator nearby. It could also be a response to a sudden change in the environment, such as a loud noise or disturbance.
Frog lives both in land and water?
Yes, frogs are amphibians, which means they can live both on land and in water. They have moist skin that helps them breathe through it when on land and are adapted for swimming with their webbed feet when in water.
What is the function of the frog's web membrane?
The frog's webbed feet membrane helps them swim efficiently by providing more surface area to push against the water. It also aids in jumping by acting like a parachute, helping them glide and control their landing. Additionally, the webbing allows them to move easily through their environment, whether on land or in water.
