Acclimation correct answers short-term adaptation to environmental stressor (days/weeks) Acclimatization correct answers long-term adaptation to environmental stressor (months/years) Conversions for temp correct answers - ºC = (ºF - 32) / 1.8 - ºF = (ºC x 1.8) + 32 Conduction (K) correct answers the movement of heat from one solid to another one that has different temperature when they are touching each other. For example, we can warm our hands by touching hot-water bottles. C...
