Poison ivy is a hardy plant that can survive winter. While it may lose its leaves, the roots remain alive underground, allowing it to regrow in the spring.
That type of biological agent is known as a toxin. Toxins can disrupt an organism's normal physiological functions, leading to illness or death by overwhelming the body's ability to eliminate the poison produced by the agent.
Poison ivy survives the winter through a process called rhizome storage, where it stores energy in its underground roots to sustain itself during cold months. Its woody stems also provide some insulation and protection from the elements. Additionally, poison ivy can be dormant during winter, with leaves falling off and growth slowing down until spring.
The dominant traits of poison ivy include producing an oily resin called urushiol, which causes an allergic reaction in many people upon contact with the skin. Poison ivy often grows as a vine or shrub in wooded areas and has three shiny leaflets with pointed tips. It is known for its ability to cause a red, itchy rash when touched.
After being exposed to poison, ant behavior can change in several ways. Some ants may exhibit abnormal movements or behaviors, such as twitching or convulsions. Others may become disoriented or lose their ability to communicate with other ants. In some cases, ants may also exhibit changes in their foraging patterns or avoid areas where the poison was present. Overall, exposure to poison can disrupt the normal behavior and functioning of ant colonies.
Like many other plants, poison oak will die when it runs out of nutrients, encounters other unfavorable growth conditions, or is treated with a herbicide that is meant to intentionally kill the plant.
Urushiol, the oily resin found in poison ivy, can survive for a long time on surfaces, remaining potent for years if conditions are favorable. It typically does not survive well during winter as temperatures drop, and moisture levels change, but it can remain on dead plant material or surfaces until it decomposes. During the winter, urushiol does not actively survive or grow, as it relies on living plant tissues for production.
Warm; because they are cold blooded they need to be warm to survive.
it can survive in water
The ability to defend their-selves with poison.
The King of Tokyo is a character in the board game "King of Tokyo" who has the special ability to unleash a deadly poison spit.
The leaves go away during the winter, but the oil doesn't. You CAN get poison ivy in the winter.
Highly unlikely.
Some animals that use poison as an adaptation to survive include poison dart frogs, box jellyfish, pufferfish, and certain snakes like the black mamba. These animals use their poison for defense against predators, to immobilize prey, or as a warning signal to potential threats.
Maybe rats that are resistant to poison. I don't know if those exist, but there are bacteria that survive with antibiotics when that's supposed to kill them, so it makes sense in theory.
Tinker Bell saved Peter from drinking Hook's poison by sacrificing herself and taking the poison in his place. Her act of selflessness and love for Peter allowed him to survive the poison and defeat Captain Hook.
Rat poison can remain active in soil for several weeks to months, depending on the type of poison used and environmental conditions.
A toxin-producing biological agent such as certain bacteria or fungi can overwhelm an organism's ability to detoxify or eliminate the poison efficiently. These toxins can disrupt cellular functions and lead to the destruction of the organism.
