Question

PLEASE HELP VERY URGENT BIOLOGY

QUESTION:
How do you think living things, such as the bombardier beetle, use
chemistry to maintain homeostasis and survive in their
environment?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The beetles gland stores enough hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide to allow the beetle to release its chemical spray roughly 20 times. Thus pulsed mechanism is beneficial for the beetle survival because the system uses pressure instead of muscles to eject the spray at a constant velocity, saving the beetle energy.
