Its like if your hot your body with sweat to cool you down

when your cold you shiver which contracts the things inside of your body so your body contains more heat rather than releasing it

An example of Homeostasis in response to internal conditions is:

and when there isnt enough glucose your body releases glucagon to bring up the level of glucose to stable your blood sugar

The whip tail of a vinegaroon is a mimic for a scorpions pincher claws true or false?

Vilka [71]

The statement is - False.

The vinegaroon has became very similar in appearance to the scorpions, by having similar body, similar proportions to certain species, having a whip tail. The whip tail though is not a mimic for the scorpion's pincher claws, but instead, it is a mimic of the scorpion's stinger. This adaptation of the vinegaroon has the purpose to fend of the predators by making them think that it is actually a scorpion and that they will get a nasty poisonous sting. This type of adaptations by mimicking certain traits of more dangerous species can be found in lot of animals from all shapes and sizes.
