ASSIGNMENT:

Please attempt to answer and discuss these questions below.

You can be brief, but please take at least 25 minutes on this and be thoughtful and show critical thinking, when answering the question. Even if you agree with what someone else has already written, you should expand on the topic.
Use science-based reasoning, and info you learned from the textbook (hint: think also about General Biology I concepts and perhaps human physiology, metabolism).
I would like for you to think it through, and be able to distinguish between the terms "adaptation" and "acclimatization" in detail
You don't need to be ''right"! This is a low stakes, non-stressful way to explore course concepts.

Questions:

Share the key differences or similarities between acclimatization and adaptation, defining each in own words.
What are the factors responsible for each, or required for each, of these processes, to occur?
Please give one new example (not from our textbook/lecture materials) of acclimatization, and one of adaptation.
