environment
In biology, tolerance refers to an organism's ability to withstand or survive unfavorable environmental conditions, such as extreme temperatures or pollution. Tolerance can vary among species, with some being more tolerant than others to certain stressors. It is an important factor in determining an organism's distribution and survival in different habitats.
A chameleon is often used as a symbol for adaptability because it can change its color to blend in with its surroundings, showing the ability to adjust to different environments.
Rapid and extreme environmental changes are most difficult for organisms to adjust to because they can disrupt the balance of ecosystems and outpace an organism's ability to adapt through natural selection. These changes can lead to extinction events or severe declines in populations.
Abiotic components are nonliving and consist of soil, minerals, air, water, and sunlight. Biotic components are living organisms of the ecosystem. Ecosystem is a community of organisms interacting with one another and within their environment. There are a vast number of species living in any ecosystem and these organisms depend on one another and their environment for sources of food and energy. Matter is recycled through ecosystems, and the amount of life any environment can support is limited by the available energy, oxygen, water, and minerals. Interactions with biotic and abiotic factors cause the ecosystem to constantly shift and adjust to maintain balance in the system. An example would be Pine Trees. A shortleaf pine grows in drier soils and the loblolly pine needs a moister site. Pines also needs sunlight to thrive and may not thrive from shadying of their own trees, thus making room for Oak trees to grow.
Organisms that adjust internally to changes in external conditions are attempting to maintain homeostasis, which is the process of maintaining a stable internal environment despite external fluctuations. This is essential for the organism's survival and ensures that its cells can function optimally. Examples include regulating body temperature in response to changes in environmental temperature.
Drivers must constantly adjust to a wide variety of conditions.Traffic and weather conditions,lighting conditions, (day/night, tunnels)road conditions (old bumpy roads vs newer roads) (work zones)pedestrian congestion (shopping districts, school zones)A drivers surroundings change constantly, and he must constantly adjust to those changes.
This ability is known as phenotypic plasticity, where an organism can change its physical or behavioral traits in response to environmental conditions. This helps organisms adapt to different environments and improve their chances of survival and reproduction.
Adapt.
Living things adjust to stimuli through a process called response. This can involve movement, physiological changes, or other behaviors to adapt to the environment. The response helps the organism maintain homeostasis and survive in its surroundings.
Adapting to your surroundings is called acclimatization. This process allows organisms to adjust to changes in their environment in order to survive and thrive.
noun, plural: adaptations(ecology)The adjustment or changes in behavior, physiology, and structure of an organism to become more suited to an environment.(ophthalmology)The ability of the eye to adjust to various light intensities by regulating the pupil of the quantity of light entering the eye.(neurology)The decline in the frequency of firing of a neuron, particularly of a receptor, to changed, constantly applied environmental conditions.
Living things adjust to a change in their surroundings immediately by a reaction called homeostasis. Claude Bernard, a French physiologist, came up with the idea of homeostasis in 1865.
stimulus
Your eardrums constantly adjust, that way they don't burst
The thermostat will self adjust to maintain its predermined temperature.
Adaptations work by allowing an organism to adjust and change so that they can survive in a changing environment. This allows the organism to live longer.
To stop a toilet from running constantly, you can adjust the float level in the tank, check and replace the flapper valve, or clean the fill valve.
