Answer:

The shape in V of the vomerine teeth is useful to hook the prey and hold it until the frog can swallow it.

Explanation:

In frogs, we can distinguish maxillary teeth, premaxillary teeth, and Vomerine teeth.

Vomerine teeth are projections of the vomer bone, located in the anterior part of the paladar and between the internal nares.

Vomerine teeth are specialized structures that help frogs catch and hold their prey. They are not involved in chewing or killing (frogs swallow the entire prey alive), just holding the creature before swallowing it.

These projections are covered by soft tissue. When the frog catches the prey, presses the tongue against the roof of your mouth. The vomerine teeth hook the prey and prevent it from slipping or wandering away.

The shape in V of the vomerine teeth is useful to hook the prey and hold it until the frog can swallow it.

Which of these is an environmental effect of deforesation?
Nata [24]
"Deforestation is the permanent destruction of forests in order to make the land available for other uses. An estimated 18 million acres (7.3 million hectares) of forest, which is roughly the size of the country of Panama, are lost each year, according to the United Nations' Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO)"
The conversion of forests into agricultural plantations is a major cause of deforestation. The increase in global demand for commodities, such as palm oil and soybeans, are driving industrial-scale producers to clear forests at an alarming rate. Indonesia, the largest producer of palm oil, was named the “Fastest Forest Destroyer,” in the 2008 Guinness World Records. Even when efforts are made to replenish barren plantations, the depleted soil is not able to produce the same biodiversity it once was."
Forest clearing for livestock ranching is another contributor of deforestation. Since 1990, Brazil, a top exporter of beef, has lost an area of forest that is three-fourths the size of Texas. A strong global demand for beef, supported by governments such as in Brazil, is expanding this kind of deforestation.
