5) Why is mimicry a helpful adaptation?
kompoz [17]
Ok so answer for 5 would be
5) a mimicry could be a great fully helpful adaption because as an example, the butterfly’s that blend in with trees, or the butterfly’s that look like birds, can either scare away predators or they can blend in.

6) as an example, a blue tongue skink has a blue tongue which is very common in venomous animals. Whenever said skink is threatened, it puffs up, opens its mouth, and hisses. When most predators see the tongue, they assume it’s venomous/poisonous because of the bright color. Another example would be milk snakes who look like coral snakes to scare away predators

What are 3 ways that compounds and mixtures differ
professor190 [17]

Answer:

3 ways to understand the differences between compounds and mixtures are described below in explanation.

Explanation:

1. In a mixture, no new product is formed. It is a simple tacking of two molecules without any chemical reaction occurring. For example water and sand. Compound is a new substance formed by chemical reactions occurring between various molecules. For example, carbon and oxygen combine to form carbon dioxide.

2. A compound is always homogeneous whereas a mixture can be homogeneous or heterogeneous.

3. Compounds have a fixed boiling and melting temperature. Whereas, mixtures do not have a definite melting and boiling temperature.
