BIOLOGY - PERIOD 8 - Wednesday, September 19th

Please comment on the following (this was your Home Learning assignment which is due today):

Choose one of the 8 (eight) characteristics of life. In your opinion, explain how the tadpole expresses that characteristic.

Using 1 (one) complete sentence or more, state:
1) the characteristic you chose,
2) Why you selected this characteristic, and
3) How the tadpole expresses that characteristic.

Example:
The characteristic I chose was metamorphosis because I have been watching and drawing the tadpole during the past three classes. I have observed that it grows and develops, changing its body shape and size.

mrs.profenno. i just wanted to say that this class is as i spected it to be. i'd like to make an enfasis in the unit about the amphibians, because i find very interesting the metamorphosys proces related to those animals. i know that it can be aplied to rocks too and i'd like to talk about it too.

Alright basically i picked the metamorphosys stage of a tadpoles life because as it grows it loses it tail and sprouts out legs and arms and is able to live its life on both water and land^_^

Basically tadpoles arent able to mate or have any kids until their metamorphasis stage is done are grown adult then they are able to sexually reproduce.

Hey Mrs.profenno I just wanted to tell you that the characterist that i have chosen was methamorphosis.I chose this because for the past couple of classes I have been watching how they grow and develop.This is why I've chosen metamorphosis for the characteristics based on how the tadpoles live and develop.

I chose aesexual and sexual reproduction, because i find it very interesting the way that they reproduce. The way they reproduce is by the adult frogs or toads relesing their sperm and egg into the water, and then the sperm swims into the egg. The egg grows and later releases a tadpole..

I pick metamorphosis because tadpole because start as eggs. They start to grow out of their egg then start to develove to look like a tapole growing a tail. Over time they grow arms and legs then start to look more like a young frog. After the stage of a young frog they become adults.

Hello Mrs.Profeno! About the homework i chose sexual reprodution because it is really awsome.I learned lots in how they relise the sperm in the water and let them find the egg to reproduce the tadpole!!! Well hope your having a good time can t waite till you caome back!

i chose Metamorphosis. Which means living things grow and develop. Tadpoles are born and form. As it grows it loses its tail and grows out leg , and arms.. as it grows it able to breath under water. When it builds up they become frogs and they are able to breath out of water. They live in land ,but around water. This is why i picked Metamorphosis.. it is very intersting how they develop and grow ! ! ♥ =]

Ms.Profenno...the stage that I pick was metamorphosis because as I studied the tadpoles for the past classes I notoced that with the tadpoles that thet are going though stages like for example when I looked at them the first day they was small and did not have no characteristics but now when I look at them today you can see there characteristics like there eyes are getting bigger like how a frog eye would be.And you could see that there tails are about to come off.

hi ms profenno! the characteristic i choose is evolution because it means a living

I pick Evolution. Which means that living things change over time. As a frog they fertilize under water, then the eggs hatch into tadpoles. When the happens tadpoles gradually grow limbs. They loser their tails and grils , and become meat eaters as they become terrestrail adults. After they ther just simply become young adults and there ready to leave the water. !
