Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
The ways through which monarch butterflies feed on the toxic milkweed plant and store cardiac glycosides in their exoskeleton without suffering the ill effects of this potent poison are to be stated.
Concept introduction:
The milkweed plant contains latex that further contains alkaloids. It also has a steroid, which is known as cardenolide that is used as a cardiac glycoside. The monarch butterflies like caterpillars benefit themselves from feeding on the milkweed plant.
