نکات کاربردی

This term is predominantly found in technical, biological, or specialized test-prep contexts. It refers to the 'act' or 'state' of resisting temperature, rather than just the state of being hot or cold.

⚠️

اشتباهات رایج

Learners often use this as a synonym for 'warmth,' but it actually refers to the regulation and resistance against temperature changes, whether hot or cold.
