12. Describe how the structure of a frog's tongue is adapted to its diet. 13. Label the structures depicted in the following diagrams using the terms provided.

Frogs have sticky tongues and their tongues can grab hairy, sticky, and slippery surfaces with ease.

The tongue of frogs is connected at the front of the lower jaw. They're not connected at the back of their throats like most organisms.

It should be noted that the frog projects the tongue out of the mouth through the use of an inertial projection mechanism. In this case, the jaw rapidly opens, the tongue rotates and the inertia of the tissue then leads the tongue to project toward its prey.

It has a sticky and long tongue.

Explanation:

The structure of a frog's tongue is adapted to its diet because the frog has a sticky and long tongue. This stickiness helps to hold its food tightly while the more length of the tongue helps to catch prey that is far from the frog. Tongue of the frog is attached to the front of the mouth as compared to the back of the mouth. The frog's tongue then snaps back after catching its prey and throws the food down its throat.
