EVERYDAY SCIENCE

Detailed explanation-1: -Like all amphibians, frogs are cold-blooded, meaning their body temperatures change with the temperature of their surroundings.

Detailed explanation-2: -Frogs, like all amphibians, are cold-blooded, meaning their body temperature is the same as the air around them, so how do these little animals survive a winter where-40˚ is a common temperature?

Detailed explanation-3: -Like other amphibians, frogs and toads are cold-blooded. This means their body temperatures change to match the temperatures of their environment. When winter comes around, frogs and toads go into a state of hibernation.

Detailed explanation-4: -Frogs and lizards are cold blooded animals. They have a three chambered heart. So there is mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood in them. So they are not able to maintain a constant temperature and depend on the temperature of environment.

Detailed explanation-5: -We employed SYSTAT ver-sion 3.0 for IBM compatible personal com-puters for all statistical analyses, with a = 0.05. Body temperatures of frogs taken at night ranged from 19.1-27.7 C and were significantly higher than those of the mod-els (paired t-test, t = 12.72, P < 0.001, n = 87).
