The diagram below shows the process for recycling plastic bottles.

The diagram shows the different stages whereby plastic bottles are recycled. Overall, this man-made,
cyclical process comprises nine steps, which can be grouped into two main stages: collecting rubbish
for classification and the process of the bottles, turning them into different eventual products.

Looking at the collecting stage of the plastic bottle–recycling process in detail, waste bottles must
first be thrown away in the right places, before being delivered to recycling centers where this
garbage is sorted manually, in which the bottles go through a grading step while the unsuitable one
is removed.

The second stage of processing the bottles is completely mechanical and involves six steps. The first
step entails compressing blocks of the bottle, followed by crushing them into small pieces which are
then soaked with water. The subsequent step entails producing plastic pellets by machines before
heating them to form raw material. Once raw material has been packed, it will be manufactured into
final products.

The diagram illustrates the different stages in the life cycle of a frog. Overall, the life cycle lasts for
just over 4 years and comprises four main stages, each of which takes place in two different
environments.

The frog begins its life as an egg in ponds or lakes having still, shallow water, the eggs are covered by
a jelly-like protective coating, and lie on water surface. Over a period of six to twenty-one days, the
eggs hatch into small species known as ‘tadpole’, which have fish-like tails. The tadpole moves like a
fish under the water, where they feed on algae, and small plants and remain for a period of six to
nine weeks. During this phase, they can grow two behind limbs, and two front limbs will appear after
three to six weeks, referred to as ‘froglet’.
In the third stage, the froglet which looks like its mature form remaining tail will spend the next
twelve weeks of its life. It feeds on food which is the same as the tadpole period and the lungs are
developed, moreover; it is able to jump. At the end of this period, it turns into a gigantic ‘adult frog’
living in a mixed environment which included grass, forested areas, and small bodies of water;
however, it feeds on insects, and small animals. Its lifespan is two to four years. Finally, the frog will
return to the still and shallow water of ponds or lakes to lay its eggs, and the cycle will begin again.
