Amphibians live both on land and in water. They undergo metamorphosis from egg to aquatic larvae to adult with lungs and limbs. Amphibians reproduce sexually by laying eggs in moist environments that develop into larvae with gills. Common UK amphibians include toads, frogs, and newts that live near water and eat insects, worms and other invertebrates.

12 3 Amphibians
Amphibians such as frogs, toads, and salamanders spend their early life in water and their adult life on land. They have adaptations like camouflage, legs, and lungs that allow them to live on both land and water. However, amphibians are sensitive to environmental changes and facing threats due to habitat loss, pollution, and other factors.
Amphibians
Amphibians are a class of animals like reptiles, mammals, and birds. They live the first part of their lives in the water and the last part on the land. When they hatch from their eggs, amphibians have gills so they can breathe in the water. They also have fins to help them swim, just like fish. Later, their bodies change, growing legs and lungs enabling them to live on the land. The word "amphibian" means two-lives, one in the water and one on land.
Amphibians & Reptiles
This document provides information about amphibians and reptiles. It defines amphibians as animals that are born in water but can live on land and water as adults, having gills as young and lungs as adults. Examples given are frogs, toads, salamanders and caecilians. Reptiles are defined as animals born on land that can live on land or water, having dry scaly skin and usually laying eggs. Examples of reptiles include alligators, snakes, lizards and turtles. Specific details are provided about the characteristics of red salamanders, American alligators, and the differences between frogs and toads.
Amphibians
Amphibians live both in water and on land, and undergo metamorphosis from aquatic tadpoles to terrestrial adults. There are over 6,000 known amphibian species including frogs, toads, salamanders, and caecilians. While amphibians first appeared 370 million years ago, many species are now endangered or extinct due to habitat loss and other threats.
Amphibian history notes
The document discusses the characteristics and evolution of amphibians. It notes that lobe-finned fish were ancestors of amphibians, which allowed them to move between bodies of water. There are approximately 4,000 known amphibian species classified into three orders. Amphibians are characterized by their permeable skin, three-chambered hearts, and typically having an aquatic larval stage before transforming into terrestrial adults.
Frogs and toads
Frogs and toads are both amphibians that live on land as adults after being born as tadpoles in water, but frogs have slimy skin, webbed feet for jumping and swimming, and live near water while toads have dry, warty skin, shorter legs for walking on land, and live farther from water. The document provides information about the differences and similarities between frogs and toads through a Venn diagram activity for students.
Amphibians ppt 1-1 10-3 mila satchansky lewbina
Amphibians are cold-blooded vertebrates that live both on land and in water. They evolved from fish during the Devonian period over 370 million years ago. There are three main types: frogs and toads, salamanders, and caecilians. Amphibians have moist skin, lay eggs, and go through a tadpole stage as part of their lifecycle. They are under threat due to habitat loss and pollution.
Amphibians: What do we know about them?
Amphibians are vertebrates that can live both on land and in water. They go through a metamorphosis from an aquatic tadpole stage to a terrestrial adult stage. Amphibians are important for ecosystems and human welfare. They indicate environmental changes and provide benefits like controlling pests, serving as traditional medicine, and acting as biological indicators. India is home to 309 amphibian species across 14 families and 55 genera. Ongoing research in India includes studies on reproduction, taxonomy, ecology, and impacts of skin extracts. Conservation efforts aim to protect amphibian habitats and diversity in the Western Ghats.

Unit 2 the reptiles.
Vertebrate animals have a backbone and are classified as mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, and amphibians. Reptiles such as turtles, crocodiles, and snakes have scales and are mostly terrestrial. They have four limbs, though snakes do not have legs. Most reptiles have teeth and some use venom fangs. Reptiles breathe through lungs and have body temperatures that vary with their environment. They lay eggs but do not incubate them.
Curious mammals and birds
The document discusses various characteristics of mammals and birds, including that echidnas and platypuses are egg-laying mammals, bats are the only flying mammal, elephants are the largest land mammal, dolphins have flippers to swim, giraffes are the tallest mammal, and blue whales are the largest animal. It also notes that Iberian lynxes are an endangered mammal found in Sierra Morena, penguins are aquatic but not flying, sparrows have short beaks to eat seeds, eagles and vultures have hooked beaks, ostriches are the largest and fastest running bird, pelicans use their beaks as nets, and hummingbirds have long thin beaks to drink
Frogs
Frogs live both on land and in water. Female frogs lay eggs in water, which hatch into tadpoles. Tadpoles live in water, breathing with gills and eating plants. Over time, the tadpole grows legs and lungs and its tail shortens until it transforms into a small froglet. The froglet is the final stage before becoming an adult frog without a tail.
Amphibians
Amphibians are vertebrates that lay eggs and undergo metamorphosis. They are born in water with gills but grow lungs and four legs as adults on land. Their skin is bare and moist to aid in respiration. Common types of amphibians include frogs, toads, salamanders, and newts.
Amphibians
Amphibians use their skin for respiration and some small species rely entirely on their skin for breathing. They reproduce in water and have permeable skin, making them sensitive to environmental changes. Amphibians evolved from sarcopterygian fish in the Devonian period and inhabit a variety of terrestrial, fossorial, arboreal, and freshwater habitats, starting as larvae in water and undergoing metamorphosis to air-breathing adults on land for most species.
Unit 2 PPT. Year 3b
The document contains summaries of several animals written by students, including:
- Agapornis parrots that are colorful birds from Africa that can talk and make sounds, live in pairs for life, and eat seeds and fruit.
- Dolphins that are social aquatic mammals living in oceans worldwide that help people and can stay underwater for 15 minutes while breathing air.
- Penguins that are birds that cannot fly, live in polar regions, and eat small fish.
- Cats that are carnivorous pets living in homes and hunting small animals.
Reptiles
Reptiles were the first terrestrial vertebrates and dominated during the Mesozoic era. There are around 7,000 reptile species worldwide today, with the most successful group being squamates (snakes and lizards). Reptiles are characterized by scaly skin, laying amniotic eggs, and various anatomical adaptations for living on land such as efficient lungs and kidneys. The four surviving orders are squamates, crocodilians, turtles, and the tuatara; turtles are notable for their protective shells.
Amphibians
Amphibians evolved from lobe-finned fishes around 345 million years ago. They can live both on land and in water, using various organs for respiration in different environments. There are over 2,000 living amphibian species classified into four orders: Anura (frogs and toads), Urodela (salamanders), Trachystoma (mud eels), and Apoda (caecilians). Amphibians have key adaptations like permeable skin and an aquatic larval stage that allow them to transition between aquatic and terrestrial habitats.

All about frogs!.ppt
Frogs are amphibians that live both on land and in water. They have short bodies, webbed fingers or toes, protruding eyes, and lack tails. Most species live in rainforests and all over the world except Antarctica and some islands. Many frogs use camouflage to hide and some can change colors. Poisonous frogs often have bright colors and obtain toxins from their diets to deter predators. Frogs eat insects and small animals, going through a life cycle from egg to tadpole to adult. They communicate through loud calls to find mates and mark territory.
Phylum Chordata - Class Amphibia
Amphibians were the first vertebrates to live on land but still require water to reproduce. They developed lungs, legs, and moist permeable skin to survive out of water. Amphibians include frogs, toads, salamanders and caecilians. Many amphibian populations are declining due to threats like climate change, habitat loss, pollution and disease.
Frog Anatomy and morphology
Amphibians can live both on land and in water, having evolved from lobe-finned fish. Frogs are a type of amphibian that undergo a metamorphosis from an aquatic larval stage to a terrestrial adult. As cold-blooded animals, frogs have adaptations like thin, moist skin and the ability to hibernate or estivate to survive in changing environments.
Amphibians
Amphibians are vertebrates that live both on land and in water, starting their lives as aquatic larvae and transitioning to terrestrial adults. They use camouflage, toxins, and bright colors to protect themselves from predators. As tadpoles, they feed using filters, and as adults they eat just about anything they can catch and swallow. Their lungs, tympanic membranes, and nictitating membranes allow them to survive on land and in water. The three main groups are salamanders, frogs and toads, and caecilians, though amphibian populations are declining globally.
Reptiles. pedro moral 3º b
Tortoises have four legs and live on land, while turtles have flippers and live in water. The dragon of Komodo uses its strong tail to kill prey. Mother crocodiles carry their babies from place to place using their mouths. Reptiles such as snakes shed their skin, and chameleons change color to protect themselves from predators. While lizards can live in deserts, they cannot survive in cold climates.
Amphibians
Amphibians are vertebrates that live both on land and in water. They are classified into three orders: Anura (frogs and toads), Caudata (salamanders and newts), and Apoda (caecilians). Amphibians are ectothermic, have permeable skin, lay eggs, and undergo metamorphosis from aquatic larvae to terrestrial adults. Each order has distinct characteristics - Anura live in moist areas and catch insects with their tongues, Caudata live in water and can regenerate limbs, and Apoda are worm-like and blind burrowers.
Dragonfly 2
There are approximately 120 species of dragonflies in Europe and 77 in the Iberian Peninsula. They are characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of transparent wings, and an elongated abdomen. Dragonflies feed on mosquitoes and small insects, and live near bodies of water like lakes and marshes. While they do not sting humans, dragonflies are beneficial as they control mosquito populations that can transmit diseases.
Class Merostomata Notes
Horseshoe crabs are an ancient species dating back over 200 million years. While there were hundreds of species in the past, only five remain today. They are marine arthropods that use book-shaped gills under their abdomen to absorb oxygen from water. When they come ashore to mate, their eggs provide an important food source, and their blood is collected by pharmaceutical companies due to its unique clotting properties, which are used to treat diseases like hemophilia.
Animals
This document provides information about the characteristics and classification of animals. It discusses that animals are multicellular organisms that cannot make their own food and most can move. Animals are classified into two main groups - vertebrates and invertebrates. Vertebrates have backbones and are further divided into classes including jawless fish, bony fish, cartilaginous fish, amphibians, birds, reptiles, and mammals. Invertebrates do not have backbones and are segmented into groups including flatworms/roundworms, segmented worms, cnidarians, porifera, echinoderms, mollusks, and arthropods.

The Skokie Lagoons were previously a marsh known as Chewbab Skokie or Skokie Marsh. The marsh was partially drained by local farmers, leaving a peatbog. During spring floods, it became a lake that flooded adjacent property and roads. The lagoons provide habitat for many diverse organisms and are used for recreation activities like biking, fishing, birdwatching, kayaking, and canoeing. Classes of organisms found at the lagoons include protists, fungi, plants, invertebrates, birds, mammals, fish, and reptiles such as turtles.
Amphibia class
a cold-blooded vertebrate animal of a class that comprises the frogs, toads, newts, and salamanders. They are distinguished by having an aquatic gill-breathing larval stage followed (typically) by a terrestrial lung-breathing adult stage.
Amphibians
Amphibians are vertebrates that spend part of their life in water and part on land. They evolved from lobe-finned fish around 350 million years ago. Amphibians have adaptations for both aquatic and terrestrial environments like the ability to hibernate, estivate, and lay eggs in water that hatch into larvae. Common types of amphibians include frogs with short bodies and long back legs for jumping, toads with thick warty skin that live on land, and salamanders with slender bodies that hide under debris.
Amphibians.
Amphibians were the first vertebrates to adapt to life on land around 350 million years ago. They preceded plants and insects. While not fully land-adapted, amphibians fill an important evolutionary niche between fish and reptiles. The earliest amphibians arose from lobe-finned fish and had characteristics like strong fins that helped with movement on land. Amphibians later diversified into three main orders - frogs/toads, salamanders/newts, and caecilians - adapting to both aquatic and terrestrial environments.

Arachnid
This document summarizes key facts about arachnids. It notes that arachnids have four pairs of legs and an external skeleton. They are found in many habitats around the world, both aquatic and terrestrial. Their favorite activities involve hunting and trapping insects in webs. Adaptations for terrestrial living include modifications to their respiratory, circulatory, and excretory systems. Their appendages are also adapted for more efficient walking. When selecting mates, spiders prefer those with many legs, an active daytime schedule, and a similar body size.
Amphibians 10-8 miryana bedros yuliya
Amphibians are a class of vertebrate animals that live both on land and in water. They have moist skin, four limbs, undergo metamorphosis from an aquatic larval stage to a terrestrial adult stage, and include frogs, salamanders and caecilians. The largest orders are Anura (frogs), Urodela (salamanders), and Gymnophiona (legless caecilians). Amphibians play an important role in ecosystems and some species are used in medical research.
Fresh Water Turtles
Freshwater turtles have a bone or piece of cartilage that develops into a shell on their back called a carapace, with a lower plate on their belly called a plastron, connected by bony bridges. Their shells are made of keratin and have a dome shape for protection. Turtles have short, webbed legs and must surface to breathe air, though they can spend time on land. Female turtles choose their mates and lay eggs without parental involvement. While male turtles fight each other to mate, they only provide fertilization. Endangered freshwater turtle species include the Red-Crowned River Turtle. Some turtles, like red-eared sliders, are kept as pets.
Let’s learn about frogs!
Frogs are a diverse group of mostly carnivorous amphibians found around bodies of fresh water worldwide except Antarctica. They are cold-blooded animals whose temperature matches their surroundings. Frog reproduction begins when females lay thousands of jelly-coated eggs in water. The eggs hatch into tadpoles, which have gills and tails. Over several weeks, tadpoles grow legs and lungs through metamorphosis and emerge from the water as juvenile frogs.
animalkingdom
The document classifies and describes different types of animals. It divides animals into invertebrates, which lack backbones, and vertebrates, which have backbones. Invertebrates include protozoa, annelids, arthropods like insects and crustaceans, echinoderms, and mollusks. Vertebrates include fish, amphibians, reptiles, birds, mammals, and primates like humans. Within these groups it describes characteristics of common animals such as starfish, earthworms, spiders, whales, and mice.
Early tetrapods and modern amphibians
The document discusses the evolution of tetrapods from aquatic fish to terrestrial vertebrates. It describes how amphibians like Tiktaalik were transitional forms that evolved traits like basic limbs that could be used to push through shallow water. Later tetrapods like Ichthyostega had limb morphology suggesting they could walk on land while retaining some aquatic traits. Modern amphibians are divided into three orders - caecilians, salamanders, and frogs. They generally reproduce via aquatic eggs and larvae but have diverse adaptations for terrestrial life as adults.

10 8 all handouts animal diversity 2010 jewett edit
Reptiles are a class of tetrapod vertebrates within the Chordata phylum. They have existed for over 300 million years and are found on every continent except Antarctica, with over 8,000 species. Reptiles are distinguished from other amniotes by having scales that cover their bodies and being cold-blooded. They have three-chambered hearts and lay eggs protected by leathery shells. Common ways reptiles move include walking with alternating front and back legs as well as crawling or creeping. Reptiles include diverse orders such as crocodiles, tuataras, lizards, snakes, turtles, and the now extinct dinosaurs.

Invasive species 10_8 2011
Invasive species are species that are not native to an area and cause harm when introduced. Not all alien species are invasive, as some can be beneficial. Invasive species are often r-selected, tolerant of different habitats, and have no natural predators in their new environment. They outcompete native species and can alter ecosystems. They cause economic problems for agriculture. Common introduction methods are intentional and unintentional human transport. Prevention methods include laws, careful gardening, fishing, and travel to new areas. Eradication, natural enemies, and ecosystem management are used after introduction.
overfishing 10-8 2011
The document discusses the issue of overfishing and its negative impacts. It defines overfishing as catching fish faster than populations can replenish. While the world's oceans could theoretically support four planets' worth of fish, many species have become reduced or extinct due to overfishing. The document also examines fishing down the food chain, bycatch, bottom trawling, and how both overfishing and government subsidies of the fishing industry can harm marine ecosystems.
2011 10-5 - air pollution
The document discusses various sources and effects of air pollution. It focuses on nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, ground-level ozone, and particulate matter as major air pollutants. Sources discussed include transportation, industry, power plants, and residential heating. Effects on both human health and the environment are outlined, such as respiratory illnesses, acid rain, smog, and global warming. The document then examines specific issues related to air pollution in Bulgaria and Mexico City, and provides recommendations for reducing air pollution through alternatives to automobiles, cleaner fuels and technologies, better city planning, and individual lifestyle changes.
2011 10.5 overfishing
Overfishing has led to unsustainable depletion of global fish stocks, with 52% of stocks fully exploited, 20% overexploited, and 7% depleted. If overfishing continues at current rates, fish populations will further decline and collapse is expected by 2050, disrupting marine ecosystems and harming economies and food security. Specific concerns include declining tuna populations, with the Mediterranean bluefin tuna facing imminent extinction without fishing reductions.
2011 10 5 dams.ppt
Dams have several ecological impacts. They block sediment and change water flows, damaging fish habitats and interrupting lifecycles. Sediment builds up behind dams, increasing flood risks. Cleared water lacks nutrients and cover for downstream organisms. Stagnant water breeds diseases. Dams displace many people and change flooding patterns vital to agriculture. Major dams like China's Three Gorges and Egypt's Aswan dams displaced over 1 million and 60,000 people respectively.
Vitanova kirilov dimitrov 10 5 eutrophication
Eutrophication refers to an increase in nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus in an aquatic ecosystem. This stimulates an overgrowth of algae known as algal blooms. The main sources of these excess nutrients are fertilizers and sewage from human activities. Algal blooms can deplete oxygen levels and block sunlight, harming other species and reducing biodiversity. Examples of eutrophication include the Baltic Sea and Gulf of Mexico "dead zone". Solutions involve reducing nutrient runoff from agriculture and improving waste water treatment.
Jetcheva filipova kalpakov raynova 10 4 inv species
The document discusses invasive species and their impacts. It provides examples of the brown rat and giant fern. Invasive species are often introduced by human actions and can harm ecosystems by disrupting native species, altering processes, and introducing diseases. They can also negatively impact economies by reducing land values and causing economic losses. Prevention efforts include restricting intentional introductions and early detection of new invaders.
Corrected lina momo iliyan air pollution 10 4
Air pollution is defined as gases, dust, smells, and fumes in harmful amounts that are released into the air. Major causes include factories, increased population, and burning fossil fuels. Examples are acid rain, smog, and the greenhouse effect. Effects are damage to health, environment, and visibility. Solutions proposed include tighter emissions standards, cleaner fuels, and increased public transportation to address traffic as a significant source of pollution especially in cities like Mexico City.
Kolev gergov minkovski_10-3_eutrophication
Eutrophication is the process by which a body of water becomes enriched in dissolved nutrients, usually nitrogen and phosphorus, that stimulate the growth of aquatic plant life usually resulting in the depletion of dissolved oxygen. It can occur naturally or be accelerated by human activities such as agriculture and development. When eutrophication is accelerated by human activities, it can negatively impact the balance of organisms in the body of water and potentially lead to algal blooms and fish kills due to low oxygen levels. Managing eutrophication involves reducing nutrient inputs from fertilizers and erosion.
Biomagnification 10-2
Bioaccumulation occurs when an organism absorbs a pollutant at a rate greater than it can eliminate it, resulting in increasing concentrations of the pollutant in the organism's body over time. Biomagnification occurs when concentrations of a pollutant increase at each trophic level in a food chain. Certain substances like mercury, DDT, and radioactive materials are prone to bioaccumulation and biomagnification due to their ability to dissolve in fats and persist in the environment. A classic example is the buildup of DDT in birds of prey in North America in the 1960s which impaired reproduction.
Ch 55 ecosystems
The document summarizes key topics in ecosystems, including:
1) Ecosystems are defined as the sum of all organisms in an area and the abiotic factors they interact with. Energy flows and matter cycles through ecosystems.
2) Gross primary production (GPP) is the amount of light energy converted to chemical energy by autotrophs. Net primary production (NPP) is the amount remaining after respiration. NPP determines the base of the food chain.
3) Pyramids illustrate the transfer of numbers, biomass, and energy between trophic levels, with typically only 10% passing to each higher level.
Eutrophication teddy, veli, alex kanov
Eutrophication is the process by which a body of water becomes overly enriched with minerals and nutrients which induces excessive growth of algae. This excess algae growth eventually dies and decomposes, consuming oxygen and releasing toxins. As a result, oxygen levels in the water decrease and some aquatic life may die, creating "dead zones". Two major examples discussed are the Gulf of Mexico dead zone caused by fertilizer runoff from farming, and the Baltic Sea dead zone exacerbated by agricultural and municipal waste. Reducing nutrient inputs from fertilizers and wastewater is necessary to prevent further eutrophication.
Ecological impacts of dams & water diversions
Dams and water diversions can have both positive and negative ecological impacts. Positively, dams provide benefits like hydropower, irrigation, flood control and more. However, they can also harm wildlife such as disrupting fish migration and reducing sediments downstream. This impacts wetland species and water quality. Dams may also cause erosion of downstream areas and change water temperature, flow and salinity levels. Large dam projects have additionally displaced many people from their homes. Examples highlighted are the Hoover Dam on the Colorado River and the Aswan High Dam on the Nile River.
Biomagnification & bioaccumulation_2
Bioaccumulation is the accumulation of substances in an organism that are at higher concentrations than in the environment. Substances more likely to bioaccumulate are hydrophobic, not easily biodegraded, and can bind to fat tissues. Biomagnification occurs across trophic levels as predators accumulate higher concentrations than their prey. Certain persistent organic pollutants and metals like mercury are prone to biomagnification up the food chain. Both processes can lead to toxic effects, especially in top predators like polar bears and humans who face greater risks from consuming biomagnified pollutants in food over time.
Air pollution katya and stoyan
The document discusses various types of air pollution including ground-level ozone, particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and sulfur oxides. It provides examples of severe air pollution issues in Norilsk, Russia and London, England. Causes, health effects, and some solutions are described for each type of pollution.
Overfishing by yuliya_miryana_bedros
Overfishing has led to declines in fish populations and damaged ocean ecosystems. Early overfishing in the 1800s depleted whale populations for oil. After WWII, efforts to increase protein availability quadrupled fishing capacity. Today the annual global fish catch exceeds 120 million tons, though overfishing is reducing populations of many species. Destructive fishing methods like bottom trawling damage coral reefs and seafloor habitats. Bycatch and discarded catch also contribute to declining fish and other marine species. No-take zones that prohibit all fishing have helped restore some ecosystems and fish populations.
Eutrophication1
Eutrophication is caused by excess nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus entering water bodies from sources like agricultural and urban runoff. This causes harmful algae blooms which can reduce oxygen levels and kill fish and aquatic life. Two examples are the hypoxic "Dead Zone" in the Gulf of Mexico caused by Mississippi River runoff and a large "Dead Zone" in the Baltic Sea from Swedish and Finnish fertilizer use. Preventing eutrophication requires reducing nutrient inputs from fertilizers and sewage as well as planting vegetation to absorb excess nutrients.
Ecological impacts of dams and water diversions
Dams impact rivers and their ecosystems in several ways. They block migratory fish from accessing spawning habitats upstream, as fish ladders are often ineffective. This disrupts fish life cycles and populations. Dams also alter sediment and water flow, affecting water quality, aquatic habitats, and nutrient levels downstream. Large dams significantly change river landscapes and environments, sometimes flooding important habitats and destroying cultural heritage sites.
Biomagnification victoria,sylvia,violetta
The document discusses biomagnification and bioaccumulation of pollutants in food chains. Biomagnification occurs when pollutant concentrations increase at higher trophic levels, such as when predators accumulate larger amounts of pollutants found in their prey. Common pollutants that biomagnify include pesticides, PCBs, dioxins, and mercury. These pollutants can harm organisms and biomagnify up food chains to negatively impact human health. The document provides examples of biomagnification for various pollutants like PCBs and mercury.
Air pollution
This document discusses air pollution in Bulgaria and its causes and effects. It notes that air pollution is worse now due to industrial development, motor vehicles, and population growth. The main sources of air pollutants in Bulgaria are old vehicles without catalytic converters, coal burning for heating, and industries like steel production. The document also examines air pollution measures in Mexico City and its geographical factors contributing to pollution problems from vehicles, power plants, and industry.
