lämmönsietokyvyn
Lämmönsietokyky, or heat tolerance, refers to an organism's ability to survive and function in environments with elevated temperatures. This capacity is crucial for life, as extreme heat can disrupt biological processes, denature proteins, and lead to cellular damage. Different species exhibit vastly different levels of heat tolerance, influenced by evolutionary adaptations and physiological mechanisms.
Organisms have evolved various strategies to cope with heat. These can include behavioral adaptations, such as
The ability to tolerate heat is not static and can be influenced by factors such as acclimation.
