Timeline: The Life Cycle of a Frog by Jamie Cimino https://padlet.com/jcimino8/n7zcw6snfypjlu0c en-us 2024-03-25 13:15:38 UTC 2024-03-25 13:50:12 UTC hello@padlet.com Stage 1: Egg jcimino8 https://padlet.com/jcimino8/n7zcw6snfypjlu0c/wish/2932523374 Frogs begin their life in a soft, jelly-like egg, usually laid in water. These eggs form a protective layer around the developing tadpole inside. Frog eggs may be laid singly or in groups known as egg masses.

This stage happens in water. Tadpoles breathe through external gills and move using their powerful tails. Tadpoles feed on algae and plants, which gives them the nutrients needed to prepare them for their next big change in their life cycle.

First, the back legs appear. Later on, they develop front legs. During the tadpole stage, the tadpole's gills are replaced by developing lungs, which causes them to start coming to the surface for air.

This stage is known as a 'froglet.' Now, with fully formed legs and lungs, the froglet can survive among the surface

As an adult frog they develop strong legs for jumping and fully functional lungs for breathing air. adult frogs can live both in water and on land. They feed on insects and play important roles in the ecosystem as both predators and prey.
