1/20
What is the most common species of frog found in India?
Rana hexadactyla
Rana cyanophlyctis
Rana aurantiaca
Rana tigrina

2/20
What helps frogs in camouflage?
Their ability to produce sound
Their ability to swim
Their ability to change color
Their ability to jump
Frogs have the ability to change their color to blend into their surroundings, a phenomenon known as camouflage. This ability helps them hide from predators and is crucial for their survival in the wild.
3/20
What is the function of the nictitating membrane in frogs?
Protects eyes underwater
Helps in hearing
Aids in respiration
Assists in jumping
The nictitating membrane in frogs is a transparent or translucent third eyelid that protects their eyes while they are underwater, allowing them to see clearly and stay safe from debris or predators.
4/20
How do frogs maintain their body temperature?
By basking in the sun
By varying with the environment
By burrowing underground
By staying in water
Frogs are cold-blooded animals, meaning their body temperature varies with the temperature of the environment. This adaptation allows them to survive in diverse climates but makes them dependent on external conditions to regulate their body temperature.
5/20
What is the term used for the summer sleep of frogs?
Hibernation
Aestivation
Camouflage
Migration
Aestivation is the term used for the summer sleep of frogs. During extreme heat, frogs enter a state of dormancy to avoid dehydration and overheating, similar to hibernation in winter but triggered by high temperatures.
6/20
What is the main function of the liver in frogs?
Secretes bile
Filters blood
Stores nutrients
Produces red blood cells
The liver in frogs secretes bile, which is essential for the digestion of fats. Bile is stored in the gall bladder and released into the small intestine to aid in the emulsification of fats, making them easier to digest and absorb.
7/20
Where does the final digestion of food take place in frogs?
Stomach
Duodenum
Rectum
Intestine
The final digestion of food in frogs takes place in the intestine. The intestine contains numerous finger-like projections called villi and microvilli that increase the surface area for absorption of nutrients.
8/20
How do frogs respire underwater?
Through lungs
Through nostrils
Through skin
Through mouth
Frogs respire underwater through their skin in a process called cutaneous respiration. Their skin can absorb dissolved oxygen from water, allowing them to breathe without using their lungs.
9/20
What is the main role of the pancreas in frogs?
Produces bile
Filters blood
Secretes digestive enzymes
Stores glycogen
The pancreas in frogs secretes digestive enzymes that aid in the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. These enzymes are released into the small intestine, where they help in the final stages of digestion.
10/20
How do frogs' hind limbs help them?
In breathing
In swimming and jumping
In hearing
In feeding
The hind limbs of frogs are larger and more muscular than their forelimbs, helping them in swimming and jumping. The webbed digits of the hind limbs aid in swimming by increasing surface area for propulsion.
11/20
What do male frogs use their vocal sacs for?
Producing sounds
Breathing
Feeding
Hearing
Male frogs use their vocal sacs to produce sounds, which are crucial for attracting females during the breeding season. These sounds are also used to establish territory and communicate with other frogs.
12/20
How do frogs absorb water?
Through mouth
Through lungs
Through nostrils
Through skin
Frogs absorb water through their skin, particularly from their belly region, in a process known as cutaneous absorption. This adaptation allows them to stay hydrated without drinking water.
13/20
What is the function of the tympanum in frogs?
Hearing
Breathing
Feeding
Swimming
The tympanum, or eardrum, in frogs is a thin membrane that vibrates in response to sound waves, allowing the frog to hear. It is an important sensory organ for detecting sounds in their environment.
14/20
What is the role of the cloaca in frogs?
Respiration
Circulation
Excretion and reproduction
Feeding
The cloaca is a common chamber and outlet for the digestive, urinary, and reproductive tracts in frogs. It plays a crucial role in the excretion of waste and the release of eggs or sperm during reproduction.
15/20
How do frogs' tongues help them catch prey?
By swallowing the prey whole
By producing enzymes
By being sticky and fast
By making sounds
Frogs have long, sticky tongues that can rapidly extend to catch prey. The stickiness helps them hold onto insects and other small animals, which are then pulled back into the mouth for consumption.
16/20
What triggers metamorphosis in frog tadpoles?
Temperature change
Hormonal changes
Food availability
Water levels
Metamorphosis in frog tadpoles is triggered by hormonal changes, specifically the release of thyroxine. This hormone initiates the transformation from a tadpole to an adult frog, involving significant physical and physiological changes.
17/20
What helps frogs to stay moist and avoid dehydration?
Their diet
Their behavior
Their habitat
Their permeable skin
Frogs have permeable skin that allows them to absorb water directly from their surroundings, helping them stay moist and avoid dehydration. This adaptation is essential for their survival, especially in dry environments.
18/20
What is the role of the amplexus in frog reproduction?
Ensures fertilization
Aids in egg protection
Helps in mating calls
Provides nourishment
Amplexus is the mating position of frogs, where the male clasps the female to ensure that his sperm is released over the eggs as they are laid, ensuring fertilization. This behavior increases the chances of successful reproduction.
19/20
What helps frogs to detect changes in their environment?
Their lungs
Their skin
Their sensory organs
Their bones
Frogs have well-developed sensory organs, including eyes, ears, and skin receptors, that help them detect changes in their environment. These organs allow them to respond to threats, find food, and communicate with other frogs.
20/20
Why do frogs have webbed feet?
For gripping prey
For climbing
For swimming
For jumping
Frogs have webbed feet that help them swim efficiently by increasing the surface area of their feet, allowing them to push against the water more effectively. This adaptation is crucial for their aquatic lifestyle.
