    Metamorphosis PowerPoint

    Uploaded by

    Prissila Jennifer Goldie
    This document discusses the two types of metamorphosis - incomplete and complete. Incomplete metamorphosis has three stages: egg, nymph, and adult. Complete metamorphosis has four stages: egg, larva, pupa, and adult. Examples of incomplete metamorphosis include insects like grasshoppers that hatch as nymphs. Complete metamorphosis includes insects like butterflies where the larva hatches and goes through pupation before emerging as an adult. Frogs also undergo complete metamorphosis, hatching as a tadpole with gills and a tail that are later absorbed as it develops into a frog that lives on land.

    What is metamorphosis?
    Metamorphosis refers to the way
    that certain organisms develop,
    grow, and change form.

    Metamorphosis actually means
    "change".
    Two Types of
    Metamorphosis
    INCOMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS -
    has THREE stages

    COMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS -
    has FOUR stages.

    INCOMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS
    Lets take a closer look
    at each stage!
    3 STAGES OF
    INCOMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS
    Egg

    Nymph

    Adult
    EGG

    A female insect lays eggs.
    These eggs are often covered
    by an egg case which protects
    the eggs and holds them
    together.

    NYMPH

    The eggs hatch into nymphs.
    Nymphs looks like small adults, but usually
    don't have wings.
    Insect nymphs eat the same food that the
    adult insect eats.
    Nymphs shed or molt their exoskeletons
    (outer casings made up of a hard substance
    called chitin) and replace them with larger
    ones several times as they grow.
    Most nymphs molt 4-8 times.

    ADULT

    The insects stop molting when
    they reach their adult size. By this
    time, they have also grown wings.



    COMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS
    Lets take a closer look
    at each stage!
    4 STAGES OF
    COMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS
    Egg
    Larva
    Pupa
    Adult
    EGG


    The female lays eggs.

    LARVA

    Larva hatch from the eggs. They do
    not look like adult insects. They
    usually have a worm-like shape.
    Caterpillars, maggots, and grubs are
    all just the larval stages of insects.
    Larvae molt their skin several times
    and they grow slightly larger.

    PUPA

    Larva make cocoons around themselves.
    Larva don't eat while they're inside their
    cocoons.
    Their bodies develop into an adult shape
    with wings, legs, internal organs, etc.
    This change takes anywhere from 4 days to
    many months.

    ADULT

    Inside the cocoon, the larvae
    change into adults. After a
    period of time, the adult breaks
    out of the cocoon.


    WHAT ABOUT FROGS?
    Frogs undergo a different type of
    COMPLETE METAMORPHOSIS.
    From the egg emerges a tadpole, which
    lives in the water, breathes with gills, and
    has a tail.
    As the tadpole grows, lungs and legs form,
    and the gills and tail are absorbed into the
    body.
    Finally, the animal leaves the water and
    lives mainly on land, as a frog.
