Tolerance

Real World Example

Imagine trying to get through a day at work when the air conditioning is broken, and it's uncomfortably hot inside. Just like you adapt by drinking more water, wearing lighter clothes, or taking breaks in cooler areas, organisms have mechanisms to survive in unfavorable environmental conditions. In this analogy, your ability to cope with the heat is like an organism's tolerance, where both involve adjusting behaviors or strategies to maintain comfort and functionality despite challenging surroundings.
