What is a range of adaptations evolved by organisms which improve their survival rate when subjected to potentially harmful or lethal chemicals?

These adaptations help organisms survive in environments with potentially harmful chemicals.

Are chemicals harmful or beneficial to humans?

The human body is 100% chemicals. The food we eat is 100% chemicals. What we drink, be it water or Scotch whisky, is 100% chemicals. The drugs we take, illegal or prescribed, are 100% chemicals. The air we breathe is 100% chemicals. The Earth we live on is 100% chemicals. The TV you watch is 100% chemicals. The sofa you sit on is 100% chemicals. Without chemicals the Earth or any life form would not exist.


How are the larvae of cabbage butterflies able to feed on plants that have defensive chemicals?

Cabbage butterfly larvae have specialized enzymes that can detoxify and break down the defensive chemicals produced by plants. This allows them to feed on a wide variety of plants, including those with chemical defenses. Additionally, they have evolved behavioral adaptations, such as selective feeding and timing their feeding cycles, to minimize exposure to these chemicals.


Did god create the earth before or after the dinosaurs?
