use the text to compare and contrast venomous creatures and poisonous creatures.
although poisonous and venomous creatures both produce toxic chemicals that can be deadly, their reasons and methods for delivering these toxins are not the same. venomous creatures tend to bite, stab, or sting to inject their toxins. poisonous creatures are more passive. instead of injecting their toxins, poisonous creatures often line their skin with toxic chemicals. another creature must touch or eat the poisonous creature to feel the effects. poisonous creatures primarily use their poisons to defend themselves against predators. venomous creatures, however, use their venom for offense as well as defense, and they sometimes even use it for mating. the venomous male platypus, for example, paralyzes rival males by shooting a toxin out of barbs on his feet.

	venomous creatures	poisonous creatures
can be deadly
bite, stab, or sting
may use their toxic chemicals in mating

Explanation:

To solve this, we analyze the text for each row:

1. Can be deadly: The text says "both produce toxic chemicals that can be deadly", so both Venomous and Poisonous creatures can be deadly. So check both boxes.
2. Bite, stab, or sting: The text states "Venomous creatures tend to bite, stab, or sting to inject their toxins" and Poisonous creatures are passive (don't do this). So check Venomous, leave Poisonous blank.
3. May use their toxic chemicals in mating: The text says "Venomous creatures... sometimes even use it for mating" (example of male platypus), and no info about Poisonous using for mating. So check Venomous, leave Poisonous blank.

Answer:

• Can be deadly: Venomous creatures (☑), Poisonous creatures (☑)
• Bite, stab, or sting: Venomous creatures (☑), Poisonous creatures (□)
