Chytridiomycota

The Poison Darwin Dart frog derived from the joining of a Darwin frog and a Poison Dart frog. It is classified in domain Eukarya because it contains eukaryotic cells, uses the process cell division to replicate, and it is a multicellular organism. It is in kingdom Animalia because it is a multicellular chemoheterotroph and does not have cell wall (Domain Eukarya 1). In phylum Chordata because the Poison Darwin Dart frog contains a notochord, a hollow nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and a postanal tail (Phylum Chordata 1). In class Amphibia because frogs live in water when they are tadpoles and their eggs need to develop in water and when they grow can live on land. Order Anura is another name that refers to frogs or toads. Where it lives… These new species of frog can be found mostly in South America and live in areas where the climate is warm or cool. The environments they usually live in are tropical rain forests, swamps, streams, or fields. Characteristics These frogs are usually small and can grow from 2.5 to 3.5 centimeters. It can live from the minimum of three years to a maximum of fifteen years. Their head is triangular shaped, has a pointed snout, and a round body. Frogs do not have a tail only in the tadpole stage which allows them to swim around and transport themselves to different parts of the pond. Their skin is the way they use to breathe and manage their body temperature. Because they are cold-blooded animals, they maintain heat by being under the sun and if…

writing about humans not necessarily being the most fertile, swift, or strong, but they are in fact resourceful. Unfortunately, our resourcefulness has led to a great decrease in our biodiversity, which may lead to this next extinction. Supporting her findings, Kelton adds the research I found most interesting in her book, the events of El Valle De Anton. Here, the town has been known for the disappearance of the ‘golden frog’, a toxic species which used to be very populated in the area that is…

order for life to continue (Reece, et al., 2011). The more we ignore the fates of the species around us the worse off we will be in the long run. It is said by scientists that at the current rate we are growing and demolishing our resources and diverse species, 50% of our extant species will become extinct within the next few centuries, which in turn could cause a global mass extinction equivalent to the Cambrian Explosion (Reece, et al.).
