Here is the correct answer:
Life cycles show how living things grow and change. A frog goes through amazing changes from a tiny egg to an adult frog. This is called metamorphosis.
Stages: Egg → Tadpole → Froglet → Adult frog → lays eggs again
Frogs are amazing because they live in water when they're young and on land when they're adults! This makes them amphibians - animals that live both in water and on land. Baby frogs (called tadpoles) breathe through gills like fish, but adult frogs breathe air through lungs like us. They can also breathe through their skin!
During metamorphosis, a tadpole's body changes in incredible ways! First, tiny back legs start to grow. Then front legs appear. The long tail that helped it swim slowly shrinks and disappears. Inside its body, gills disappear and lungs grow instead. Even its mouth changes - tadpoles eat algae, but adult frogs catch insects with their sticky tongues!
Even though adult frogs live on land, they still need water to survive. Frogs don't drink water through their mouths - they absorb it through their skin! Their skin must stay moist to help them breathe. That's why you'll often find frogs near ponds, streams, or in your garden after it rains. Female frogs also return to water to lay their eggs, keeping the life cycle going.
Remember: The cycle repeats — adult frogs lay eggs and the life cycle starts over!
