frogs undergo incomplete metamorphosis because they do not go through a third stage.In frog development, the eggs hatch and give rise to tadpoles, small aquatic larvae that have external gills and are mainly vegetarian. As the tadpole grows, internal gills and limbs form. Several significant changes occur during metamorphosis into the adult, including growth of a large mouth and tongue, loss of gills, formation of lungs, growth of the front legs, and resorption of the tail. Numerous biochemical changes accompany these morphological changes, such as synthesis of a new visual pigment in the eyes and a new oxygen-binding hemoglobin protein in the blood. The adult is mainly insectivorous and partly terrestrial

What changes a frog and toad go through from birth to adulthood?

Frogs and toads go through a process called metamorphosis, which involves distinct physical changes. They start as aquatic tadpoles, breathing through gills and feeding on plant matter. As they grow, they develop limbs and lungs, eventually transitioning into adult frogs or toads with fully developed lungs for breathing on land.

Is a toad the same thing as a frog?

It is a toad. The American toad is the common toad. There is also a common frog. Don't get them mixed up! The same is true in the UK: we have common toads which are toads, and common frogs which are frogs. Confusion begins to arise in the tropics, where iconic species like poison-arrow frogs could really be classed as toads due to their ability to crawl/climb. True frogs always hop.
