Life Cycle of a Frog

The Life Cycle Of A Frog

MetamorphosisMetamorphosis is the changes that a frog goes through during its life cycle.There are four main stages in the life cycle of the frog.

EggThe first stage in the life cycle of the frog is the egg.A frog lays many eggs at one time.The eggs are covered with a jellylike coating.

TadpoleThe second stage of the frog life cycle is the tadpole.Hatched tadpoles have gills for breathing in the water. They have a tail, but no legs.

As a tadpole grows, lungs begin to form.Back and front legs begin to grow. These parts allow the adult frog to live on land.

MetamorphosisAdult FrogOnce the lungs form and begin to work, the gills and tail disappear.The adult frog is now ready to live on land.

What is the first stage of the frog life cycle? The first stage of the frog life cycle is the egg.

What is the second stage of the frog life cycle? The second stage of the frog life cycle is the tadpole.

What is the third stage of the frog life cycle? The third stage of the frog life cycle is the froglet.

What is the fourth stage of the frog life cycle? The last stage of the frog life cycle is the adult frog.
