Toxicology is a common science that deals with toxins and their effect and with the problems involved such as clinical, industrial, or legal problems .Toxicity experiments may be conducted in vitro by testing on isolated cells or tissues or in silico through computer simulation or in vivo by using the whole animal.The experimental tool of toxicology is testing on animals. An example of a model organism is Galleria mellonella, which can replace small mammals for studying toxicity in vivo. As of 2014, such animal testing provides information that is not available by other means about how substances function in a living organism.
