Organisms have evolved various detoxification mechanisms to cope with natural toxins. These include enzymatic processes that transform toxins into less harmful substances, which can then be excreted. For example, the liver in vertebrates plays a critical role in detoxification by utilizing enzymes like cytochrome P450 to metabolize harmful compounds.
Additionally, some organisms can sequester toxins in specific tissues where they cause minimal harm, or they might develop resistance to certain toxic effects through evolutionary adaptations.
