What is acclimatisation?

Open in App
Solution

Acclimatisation refers to small changes that occur in the body of a single organism over short periods, to overcome problems due to changes in the surroundings. For example, a person living in plains breathes faster when he goes on high mountains. However, after a few days, his body adjusts to the changed conditions on the high mountains and he starts breathing in a normal manner.
