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

Biology
1 answer:
Vilka [71]3 years ago
4 0

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.

How does pH affect cells and cellular processes
wel
The slightest change in pH can destroy the substance or organism. The pH of a cell's interior helps regulate the cell's chemical reactions. For example, the pH of blood is 7.4, if blood falls to 6.8 or lower or 8.2 or higher, it results in death.

Once a neuron is stimulated and the membrane potential is depolarized, the depolarized axonal membrane is helped to return to it
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cell membrane separates the cell from the outer environment. The extracellular fluid contains the sodium ions (Na+), chloride ions (Cl-), while intracellular fluid contains potassium (K +) and negative anions.

The potential difference arises when the membrane is selectively permeable to some ions. The resting potential is -70mV.  

When the neurons get excited, the sodium ions start to enter by sodium channels.  

Now there are more positive ions inside the cell membrane. It disturbs the resting potential i.e. -70mV. This stage is known as depolarization.

When the inside environment of the cell is more positively charged, the potassium ions start to move out of the cell. It goes out by the voltage-gated channels. Thus resting stage is maintained and it is known as repolarization.

But the initial stability of the cell membrane has to be maintained. To restore the resting stage, the sodium ions start to move out of the membrane and potassium ions enter into the cells again. This is an active transport and has done by the Na+ - K+ pump. Here 3 sodium ions move out and 2  potassium ions pumped into the cell through the plasma membrane.  

Thus the resting potential regains. The potassium ions come back into the cells against the concentration gradient and ATP provides the energy for this phenomena.

HURRY PLZ WILL MARK BRAINLIEST
Bumek [7]

Answer:

The answer is 'D'- Their arm bones have the same structure, but not function. These are homologous structures.

Explanation:

Homologous structures are those which share a basic common structure but perform different function. The hand of a human performs functions like <em>writing, cutting, washing, chopping</em> etc. The wings of a bat are used for the purpose of <em>flying</em>.

Also, <em>a dolphin's flippers, a bird's wing, a cat's leg</em> are all <u>homologous structures</u>. The structures which are homologous have the following features:

  1. They share a <em>common origin</em>
  2. Their <em>anatomy</em> is similar
  3. They have a <em>similar pattern of development</em>.
