Abstract. The article is a literature review devoted to the study of biochemical adaptations of animals and
microorganisms to changing environmental conditions. The analysis of biochemical methods for the study of
adaptation mechanisms at the level of the whole organism, individual organs, enzymatic systems is important for
carrying out scientific searches in the field of biochemistry, environmental medicine and other branches. Biochemical
methods for studying adaptation mechanisms at the level of the whole organism, individual organs, cellular organelles
and enzymatic systems are important for carrying out scientific searches in the field of biochemistry, environmental
medicine and other branches. These methods determine the qualitative and quantitative identity of metabolic
functions, gas exchange processes, the constancy of the intracellular environment (necessary for the functional
activity of the macromolecule), and the use of available energy sources. With their help, it is possible to determine
the boundaries of adaptive abilities, the phase of the impact of a factor (adaptation, predathology, pathology) and,
on the basis of this, draw conclusions about the degree of resistance and sensitivity of species. Aspects of
biochemical adaptation indicate that they are the key to adaptive features of living organisms to the conditions of
stress, which may be various environmental factors.
Key words: adaptation, ecology, living organisms, bacteria, biochemical indicators, environment, stress, heat shock, process, “internalized” mechanisms, microorganisms, enzymes, ecological monitoring, hydrobionts, metabolism, irritants, modifiers, toxic substances, temperature.
