CHILD DEVELOPMENT PEDAGOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Many amphibians are obligate breeders in standing water. Eggs are laid in water, and the developing larvae are essentially free-living embryos; they must find their own food, escape predators, and perform other life functions while they continue to develop.

Detailed explanation-2: -Amphibians reproduce by laying eggs that do not have a soft skin, not a hard shell. Most females lay eggs in the water and the babies, called larvae or tadpoles, live in the water, using gills to breathe and finding food as fish do. As the tadpoles grow, they develop legs and lungs that allow them to live on land.

Detailed explanation-3: -Amphibians lay jelly-covered eggs, called spawn, usually in still, fresh water, often among water plants. The resulting young, known as tadpoles-which at first look like legless blobs with tails-are aquatic and have feathery, external gills, but soon develop lungs and legs and leave the water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Metamorphosis in amphibians is the transformation of the larva to a miniature adult replicate, and usually from an aquatic to a terrestrial or semi-terrestrial lifestyle. Metamorphosis marks the beginning of the end of larval life.

Detailed explanation-5: -Amphibian Eggs Unlike other tetrapod vertebrates (reptiles, birds, and mammals), amphibians do not produce amniotic eggs. Therefore, they must lay their eggs in water so they won’t dry out.
