The carbohydrates synthesized by the leaves of the plant are transported to other regions of the plant body after conversion to sucrose. Since it is water soluble it can be transported easily too. Therefore, food is transported in plants in the form of sucrose.

A carrier protein transfers a solute across the phospholipid bilayer via facilitated diffusion which behaves much like an enzyme-substrate reaction.
A distinction between the process by which an enzyme converts substrate to product and facilitated transport is
  1. Solutes are able to undergo transport without chemical modification.
  2. Solutes are restricted to flow in one direction depending on the orientation of the carrier protein.
  3. Solutes are directly transported without interacting with or influencing the conformational state of the carrier protein.
  4. Solutes are transported whether or not there is a competitive or noncompetitive inhibitor present.

Trunk The trunk contains an anterior portion called thorax and a posterior larger portion called abdomen. A pair of forelimb and hindlimb is attached to the trunk. Each forelimb has an upper arm, a forearm and a hand. The hand has a wrist, a palm and four digits. Each hindlimb consists of an upper thigh, a middle shank and a lower foot. The foot has an ankle, a sole and five digits. The digits are joined together by a fold of skin called web. At the end of the trunk, between the hindlegs, there is a circular aperture called cloacal aperture through which faeces, urine and gametes passes out. Skin The skin of frog consists of an outer epidermis and inner dermis. Epidermis is the outermost, non-vascular layer made up of stratified epithelium. The innermost layer of epidermis consists of Malpighian layer or stratum germinativum. Dermis layer contains mucous glands and poison glands. The poison glands secrete poisonous fluid which protects the frogs from their enemies. Frog never drinks water, but absorbs it through the skin. Anatomy The body cavity of frogs accommodate different organ systems such as digestive, circulatory, respiratory, nervous, excretory and reproductive systems with well-developed structures and functions. Coelom The body cavity is a true coelom and large having two parts, a very small pericardial cavity around the heart which contains pericardial fluid and a very large pleuroperitoneal cavity around the other viscera that have coelomic fluid except the kidneys. Both the fluids are watery, colourless and secreted by peritoneum.
