Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acclimation refers to the physiological and biochemical adjustments made by organisms in response to changing environmental conditions. Exposure to sublethal levels of aluminum can lead to acclimation, where the plant makes adjustments to cope with the toxic effects of the metal. Lethal levels of aluminum, on the other hand, can kill the plant and will not lead to acclimation. Similarly, exposure to temperatures too cold to survive or loss of all above-ground tissue would result in death, not acclimation. Lethal levels of an herbicide would also not allow for acclimation as it would kill the plant.
