Question

Why is the frog tongue sticky?

Answer 1

Answer:-

• As we know frog catched and eaten their food with the help of tounge.
• Frog's tongues are attached to the front of their mouths rather than at the back like humans.
• When a frog catches an insect it throws its sticky tongue out of it's mouth and wraps it around its prey.
• The frog's tongue then snaps back and throws the food down its throat.That means it can behave as both a liquid and a solid.
• This unusual combination of tongue and saliva allows a frog to catch insects, mice or even small birds faster than you can blink five times faster, in fact.
• The tongue wraps around the insect and covers it with sticky saliva before the victim knows what hit it.
• Spit switch and tongue's softness keep tongue sticky when capturing prey.
• A frog tongue's stickiness is caused by a reversible saliva in combination with a super soft tongue, new research shows.
• A frog's saliva is thick and sticky during prey capture, then turns thin and watery as prey is removed inside the mouth.
• The stickiness of the tongue allows for the frog to hold on to its prey so that it can't fly away.
