Answer 1

Hint: Movement is the process by which an organism changes its position. It helps them to find food and to escape from predators. There are different methods by which organisms move. Several specialized appendages help in movement.

Complete answer:
Movement is one of the important characteristics of living organisms. The organisms use limbs, feathers, muscles, etc for movement. The lower organisms like amoeba move with the help of pseudopodia. The euglena, paramecium etc move with the help of cilia and flagella.

The different organisms show different types of movement like walking, crawling, swimming, somersaulting, flying etc. A frog is an amphibian that lives in both land and water. It has four limbs which help them in movement. The two sets of limbs present in the frogs are different. The forelimbs are shorter whereas the hind limbs are longer.

The method by which frogs move is known as the Toad movement. The methods by which the animal moves around is through jumping, swimming, gliding, and burrowing. The hind limbs of frogs are muscular and strong and help in hopping long distances. And the webbed feet also help them in swimming.

Additional Information: In the case of birds the forelimbs are modified into wings that help them in flight. In the case of human beings, they show walking movement with the help of two hind limbs. The forelimbs are not used for walking.

Note: The frogs show hopping movement. There are marked differences between the movements of frogs and toads. Toads are of smaller size and can move only to a smaller distance. While frogs can leap to longer distances.
