Living things combat the toxicity of water through various adaptive mechanisms. Many organisms possess specialized cellular structures or biochemical pathways that help detoxify harmful substances, such as heavy metals or pollutants. For instance, some plants can uptake and sequester toxins in vacuoles, while certain microorganisms can break down toxic compounds through metabolic processes. Additionally, many aquatic species have developed osmoregulatory systems to maintain ion balance and mitigate the effects of toxic elements in their environment.
