How are frog eggs different from bird eggs?

Frog eggs are typically laid in clusters, have a jelly-like outer covering, and are fertilized externally. Bird eggs are usually laid individually, have a hard calcium carbonate shell, and are fertilized internally before laying.


Describe the structure of bird eggs and explain what usually happens to the eggs after they are laid?

Bird eggs have a hard outer shell composed of calcium carbonate that protects the developing embryo. Inside the shell, there are membranes and albumen (egg white) that provide nutrients and support for the embryo. After the eggs are laid, the female bird will typically incubate them by sitting on the nest to keep them warm until they hatch.


How are birds eggs adapted to land?

Bird eggs are adapted to land by having a hard outer shell that protects the growing embryo from damage and dehydration. The shape of the egg also helps prevent it from rolling away and provides structural support for the developing bird. Additionally, the eggs have a membrane inside the shell that allows for gas exchange to occur while protecting the embryo.


Why are snake eggs soft?

Snake eggs have flexible, leathery shells instead of hard ones like bird eggs. This allows the eggs to be more pliable and conform to the shape of the nest, making them easier to lay in tight spaces. The soft shells also make it easier for hatchlings to push their way out when they are ready to emerge.
