Monarch Butterflies, for example, are poisionous to birds. The taste very bad and make birds sick enough to teach them a lesson.

What is the difference between innate and adaptive defenses?

Innate defenses are the body's first line of defense against pathogens and are non-specific, meaning they target any foreign invader. Adaptive defenses are more specific and target particular pathogens, developing over time as the body is exposed to different threats. Innate defenses are always present and ready to act, while adaptive defenses take time to develop but provide long-lasting immunity.


Are non- specific body defenses are innate while specific are adaptive?

Innate is a broad general response against any pathogen. It is very quick response but it is limited in how well it can defend your body. It is absolutely necessary to have a functioning innate immunity or your adaptive immunity will not be able to respond efficiently. Adaptive has a very specific response against a pathogen. On first exposure it may time several weeks to acquire the appropriate defenses, however, on secondary exposure it is a very quick response. It has long term memory so you are protected for a long time against that same pathogen.


How do cancer cells work to proliferate and evade the body's natural defenses?

Cancer cells proliferate by growing and dividing uncontrollably, forming tumors. They evade the body's natural defenses by mutating to avoid detection by the immune system and by disrupting normal cell signaling pathways that regulate cell growth and death.
