Plants and animals have various strategies to adapt to changing temperatures.
Plants can adapt to changing temperatures through processes like acclimation, which involves adjusting their physiological processes to tolerate different temperature ranges. They can also change their growth patterns, alter their leaf morphology, regulate their water usage, and produce heat-shock proteins to protect themselves from extreme temperatures.
Animals, on the other hand, can adapt to changing temperatures through behaviors like seeking shelter, adjusting their activity patterns, changing their migration routes, hibernating, or aestivating to conserve energy during extreme temperatures. Physiological adaptations such as changing their metabolic rate, altering their insulation through changes in fur or feathers, or adjusting their body size can also help animals cope with temperature fluctuations.
