What are three differences between a frog and a tadpole?
The first difference is that a tadpole (after being hatched) has gills because its body has not developed enough muscular structure to survive on land, so it live underwater, the frog however breaths through lungs (mature frogs cannot breath underwater). Second, a tadpole has a tail, while a frog is tailless. Third, a tadpole does not have any legs (until later in life) while a frog has very long hind legs for leaping.
How long can a tadpole remain out of the water and survive?
It doesn't.
Can you have and example of developmental adaptation?
One example of a developmental adaptation is how a tadpole gradually transforms into a frog. Through a series of changes in its body structure and function, the tadpole adapts to life on land, developing limbs and lungs to survive outside of water. This developmental adaptation is essential for the tadpole's survival and reproductive success in its changing environment.
What types of land cannot support large population?
Large numbers of numbers cannot survive on land covered with Ice, Deserts, or high Mountains.
Does a tadpole's shape help it to survive?
Every creature's shape has evolved to help it survive in one way or another.
What major physical changes occur in the metamorphosis from the tadpole stage to the adult stage that enable the adult frog to survive on land?
During metamorphosis, the tadpole undergoes changes such as the development of hind limbs, absorption of the tail, growth of lungs, and changes in the digestive system to accommodate a shift from herbivorous to carnivorous diet. These adaptations help the adult frog to breathe air, move on land, and consume a wider range of food sources for survival outside of the water environment.
What is an immature frog or toad that must live in the water after hatching to survive is called?
A Tadpole, the larval form of a frog. Sometimes also referred to as a "wollywog" or "pollywog".
Why can a tadpole live in water but not on land?
because it hasn't developed lungs yet
Where do most aquatic plants and algae live and why?
aquatic plants live in water because they cannot survive on land
Can triops go on land?
Triops may try to go on land, but they cannot survive for long. They can only breathe underwater and they will dry up without water.
How can plants survive in land?
Plants survive in land by the water
What are features of amphiba?
Was in water. And is now on land. Ex: a frog. A tadpole live in the water first. Then it grows and lives on land.
