Stage 1: Adult frogs

Stage 2: Frogs lay eggs in water, which then are fertilized.

*How are Amphibian Eggs different from other eggs?
-They do NOT have a shell, but instead a jelly-like protective coating
![Page 5: Amphibian ADAPTATIONS Ms. Bridgeland 5 th Grade. Stage 1 : Adult frogs](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e6489/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Stage 3: Larvae After a few days, larvae wriggle out of the
protective jelly that coats the egg and begin a free-swimming, fishlike life
The larvae of a frog or toad is called tadpole.

As they grow, larvae undergo a ______________________?

Metamorphosis A process where an animal develops after birth
or hatching, involving a sudden change in the animal’s structure
![Page 8: Amphibian ADAPTATIONS Ms. Bridgeland 5 th Grade. Stage 1 : Adult frogs](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e6489/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Stage 4: Larvae develops hind (back) legs

Stage 5: Front legs develop

Stage 6: Frog loses tail and becomes a mature adult
![Page 11: Amphibian ADAPTATIONS Ms. Bridgeland 5 th Grade. Stage 1 : Adult frogs](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e6489/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Amphibians: ADAPTATIONS
What is an adaptation? Once amphibians are adults, what new adaptations do they need to live on land?
![Page 12: Amphibian ADAPTATIONS Ms. Bridgeland 5 th Grade. Stage 1 : Adult frogs](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e6489/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Adaptation: OXYGEN While amphibians are larvae, (example
tadpoles), how do they breathe?
![Page 13: Amphibian ADAPTATIONS Ms. Bridgeland 5 th Grade. Stage 1 : Adult frogs](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e6489/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Once, they are on land, how do they breathe? Amphibians must get oxygen from the
AIR instead of the water once they are on land
During metamorphoses, amphibians lose their gills and develop LUNGS.
What two gases are exchanged through the lungs? OXYGEN and CARBON DIOXIDE
![Page 14: Amphibian ADAPTATIONS Ms. Bridgeland 5 th Grade. Stage 1 : Adult frogs](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e6489/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Adaptation: Circulatory System A tadpole’s circulatory system is similar to a fish: it
has a single loop and a heart with 2 chambers
Adult amphibians have two loops and a heart with three chambers.
Atria: upper chamber of the heart that receives blood.
Ventricle: the lower chamber where oxygen rich and oxygen-poor blood mixes –blood moves from the atria to this lower chamber
![Page 15: Amphibian ADAPTATIONS Ms. Bridgeland 5 th Grade. Stage 1 : Adult frogs](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e6489/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Adaptation: Movement Some frogs have sticky pads on their
toes to climb trees
Others have webbed feet for swimming
![Page 17: Amphibian ADAPTATIONS Ms. Bridgeland 5 th Grade. Stage 1 : Adult frogs](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e6489/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Adaptation: Obtaining Food
Tadpoles are HERBIVORES (only eat plants
Adult salamanders, frogs, and toads are CARNIVORES
Frogs and toads WAIT for their prey
Salamanders AMBUSH their prey (chase after their prey)
![Page 18: Amphibian ADAPTATIONS Ms. Bridgeland 5 th Grade. Stage 1 : Adult frogs](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e6489/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Adaptation: Body Structure Adult amphibians are vertebrates and
have strong skeletons to support their body against the pull of gravity
![Page 19: Amphibian ADAPTATIONS Ms. Bridgeland 5 th Grade. Stage 1 : Adult frogs](https://reader030.vdocuments.mx/reader030/viewer/2022032723/56649d125503460f949e6489/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What are two reasons that amphibians might become endangered?
Destruction of their habitats= when a swamp is filled in or a forest is cut, an area that was moist, or more wet, becomes drier. Most amphibians cannot live in dry, sunny areas.
Pollution = pollution in water (pesticides and chemicals damage the skin and eggs of amphibians)
