    Which of the animal has a tadpole stage?

    • A.

      Mosquito

    • B.

      Frog

    • C.

      Butterfly

    Correct Answer
    B. Frog
    Explanation
    Frogs have a tadpole stage in their life cycle. Tadpoles are the larval stage of frogs, where they have a fish-like appearance and live in water. During this stage, they have gills for breathing and a long tail for swimming. As they grow, tadpoles undergo metamorphosis and develop into adult frogs, losing their tails and developing lungs for breathing on land. This unique life cycle characteristic sets frogs apart from other animals like mosquitoes and butterflies, which do not have a tadpole stage.

    Which of the following is NOT true about the Venus flytrap?

    • A.

      It is native to North America. 

    • B.

      It can survive without insects. 

    • C.

      It only closes its trap when it senses movement. 

    • D.

      It produces sweet nectar to attract insects.

    Correct Answer
    C. It only closes its trap when it senses movement. 
    Explanation
    The Venus flytrap has evolved a remarkable mechanism to capture insects. While it does respond to movement, it also requires the insect to touch trigger hairs inside the trap multiple times within a short period. This ensures that the trap doesn't waste energy closing on false alarms like raindrops or debris. The Venus flytrap is native to the bogs of North and South Carolina, and while it can survive without insects, it thrives when it can supplement its nutrient intake with captured prey.
