ABSTRACT

This study cut across to determine the effect of environmental pollution on the energy level of the tadpoles in three target region, three sites was carefully selected for this research (uwelu spare part, nifor dump and okuo diet which act as control. protein, lactate dehydrogenase and glucose was used as a biomarker in the head region of the tadpole. Systematic studies on the impact of environmental pollution on the survival adaptability of amphibians are relatively few. In this study xenopus laevis tadpoles from three places with totally different backgrounds of environmental pollution were chosen to explore the changes and adaptation on tadpoles. The results showed that heavy metal enrichment and energy level were significantly higher in the tadpoles under long-term heavy metal stress. Meanwhile, pollution affected the adaptability of tadpoles to environmental change and decreased. In contrast of the sites, it was discovered This discrepancy may indicate varying degrees of metabolic activity or cellular stress across these locations, with Okuo Diet Xenopus laevis potentially facing higher metabolic demands or stressors. The higher LDH level in okuo diet indicates greater cellular stress metabolic activity. The consistency in glucose levels indicates that the tadpoles in these regions have similar access to energy resource in the form of glucose. uwelu boasts the highest total protein levels, followed by nifor dumps, and okou diet. nifor dump is a site fill with so much gabbage to which the tadpole feeds on, the much activity in the nifor dump diet may increase the level of total protein in the physiology of the tadpole.
