Both are forms of passive defense. Camouflage is when a species evolves to have colours and paterns simlar to its natural environment allowing it to blend in and thus hiding it from predators. Mimicry is when one harmless species evolves to look like a dangerous one. Because animals learn not to attack or eat the dangerous one they are also afriad to eat the mimic because they think it is the same species. An example of this is the harmless hornet (there are also dangerous species) which has evolves black and yellow stripes to look like wasps, which of course have stingers. As predators dont like to attack wasps they learn not to attack hornets either. For this type of defense to work there must be more of the dangerous species than the mimic otherwise the predators will be more likely to get the mimins and thus learn the patterns they have to be safe patterns.
Protective Coloration is when an animal is the same color as another animal, and mimicry is when an animal looks almost the same in terms of size, shape , etc
Animals that use warning coloration are bright colored. Animals that use mimicry look like other organisms.
To mimic something is to copy its appearance or behavior. Camouflage copies the appearance of a background, so camouflage can be considered a form of mimicry.

What is an example of an alkali metal that does NOT exist independently in nature or in the laboratory?
Francium is an example of an alkali metal that does not exist independently in nature or in the laboratory due to its extreme rarity and high radioactivity. It has a very short half-life and decays quickly into other elements, making it difficult to isolate and study.
