the physiological changes that allow the body to adapt or get used to the effects of a new environment, especially low oxygen saturation at higher elevations
Adaptation to a different climate. BCFT .
1. Processes, including selection and adaptation, by which a population of micro-organisms develops the ability to degrade a substance, or develops a tolerance to it. 2. In animal tests - allowing an animal to adjust to its environment prior to undertaking a study.
The adaptation of a living organism (plant, animal or micro-organism) to a changed environment that subjects it to physiological stress.
adaptation to a new climate (a new temperature or altitude or environment)
The process of becoming accustomed (physiologically adapting) to an unfamiliar environment, for example, the body can adjust to a high altitude or a hot climate and increase its capacity to work in those conditions.
The adaptation of a plant to a site or to a change in climate.
The biological process whereby an organism adapts to a new environment. One example is the process of developing microorganisms that degrade toxic wastes in the environment.
The physiological and behavioral adjustments of an organism to changes in its environment.
The adjustments of a human body or other organism to a new environment.
physiological adaptation to climatic variations
the manner in which an organism adapts to a new environment or to a change in the old. For microbes, these physiological modifications often involve enzymatic changes (changes that modify proteins that speed up biochemical reactions). These modifications allow the organism to utilize a new nutrient source for survival. [Source: Biotechnology Industry Organization, www.bio.org
The physical adaption to a long-term environmental change, such as adaptions that accompany a change in season or in latitude.
the ability of the body to undergo physiological adaptations so that the stress of a given environment, such as high altitude, is less severe.
The physiological, emotional, and behavioral adjustment to changes in the environment. Proper performance depends on adequate acclimatization to the workplace, including significant mechanical features such as seat height and lighting. Heat, cold, humidity, and light are important physiologically.
Acclimatization is the process of an organism adjusting to changes in its environment, often involving temperature or climate. Acclimatization usually occurs in a short time, and within one organism's lifetime (compare adaptation). This may be a discrete occurrence or may instead represent part of a periodic cycle, such as a mammal shedding heavy winter fur in favor of a lighter summer coat.
