Acclimation

Acclimation is the proces through which an organism adjusts to a change in its environment .It generally deliver overs to the ability of living things to adjust to changes in climate and usually occurs in a short time of the change.

Scientists distinguish between acclimation and acclimatization because the latter adjustment is made below natural conditions when the organism is subdue to the full range of changing environmental factors. Acclimation, however, directs to a change in single one environmental factor under laboratory conditions.

In an acclimation experiment, adult frog ( Rana temporaria ) maintained in the laboratory at a temperature of either 50°F (10°C) or 86°F (30°C) were experimented in an environment of 32°F (0°C) It was fix that the group maintained at the higher temperature was inactive at freezing. The cluster maintained at 50°F (10°C), however, was active at the lower temperature; it had acclimated to the lower temperature.
