How is an adult frog different from a tadpole?
A tadpole is a metamorphosis form of a frog, called the larvae, or fry. They come out of frog eggs, and eventually grow legs and arms, shorten their tail, and become frogs.A tadpole is the juvenile/ pre-adult stage of most if not all amphibians. Or the second stage in becoming a frog, almost any frog for that manner.
How do tadpoles change?
· Frogs are amphibians · The female frog lays lots of eggs- small Tadpoles hatch from eggs that are laid in water · Laid inside white foam · breathes through gills · It is legless and moves with the help of a tail · However, most tadpoles are herbivores and feed on plants and algae. Some species are omnivores and eat detritus and even other tadpoles. Tadpoles eat a wide variety of food. During the early developmental stage, the tadpole feeds on its own yolk sacks, in order to grow and develop. One day after hatching, the tadpole starts to absorb oxygen through its skin and eats the remainder of yolk in its intestine. Within 2-3 days, it opens its mouth and its external gills start working. After that, it becomes vegetarian. The major food for tadpoles includes plants, algae and other microscopic things in the water. They also feed on fish food, lettuce, egg yolk and baby cereal. · When the back legs of tadpoles emerge, they completely become carnivores within a short period of time. If there are no sufficient insects, larvae, microbes or other small animals in the water, then they eat each other. · Their tail becomes smaller and they begin growing legs. The back legs grow first, followed by the front legs. · Tadpoles also start to develop lungs because they have to ready to breathe on land when they become a frog. · Tadpoles may be found in lakes, swamps or even in puddles after a heavy rain.

yes. they are born as eggs in water, and hatch into water dependent tadpoles shortly after. over a course of months they start to grow limbs and be able to live in water and land. For normal they start as an egg soon they will turn into tadpoles and form legs to become frog-lets (England). 1.Eggs 2. Tadpoles 3. Frog-let 4.Adult Frog for England & Advance.

Do baby frogs eat grass hoppers?
Baby frogs are tadpoles. Grasshoppers are land creatures, tadpoles do not leave the water, so no. However, once a frog matures, it will eat any insect small enough to fit in its mouth.
Is a tadpole changing into a frog evolution?
No, it is not evolution it is just the life cycle of a frog. The mother lays her eggs in the water. The babies are called tadpoles. Over time they grow lungs and legs and arms then move to land. That all happens in 1 lifecycle. Evolution is a process of change over the course of many generations.
How do change of metamorphosis allow a frog to survive on land?
It can survive on land because it has lungs now.
Why frog lay in the water?

They start off in the embryotic stage as embryo inside of eggs. After a while, they hatch and are called tadpoles. Gradually they develop their front/back legs and lungs and can start walking on land. They look a little bit like a frog mixed with a tadpole, called tadpole frog. Finally, they turn into frogs.
