Supercooling and Freezing Tolerant Animals
Subzero temperatures may adversely affect animals by their direct lethal effects and by the damage caused by ice formation (Ramløv, 2000). Animals deal with the latter by three basic strategies. Freeze avoiding animals prevent ice formation in their bodies and supercool, keeping their body fluids liquid at temperatures below their melting point, but die if freezing occurs. In contrast, freezing...

متن کاملArabidopsis thaliana avoids freezing by supercooling.
Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. has been described as a freezing-tolerant species based on freezing-resistance assays. Nonetheless, this type of experiment does not discriminate between freezing-tolerance and freezing-avoidance mechanisms. The purpose of this paper was to determine which of these two freezing-resistance mechanisms is responsible for freezing resistance in A. thaliana. This was...
متن کاملSupercooling of Water
Water has a complex phase diagram with more than 16 crystalline phases, two glass phases and liquid which displays many unique behaviors, especially in the region of -45 °C (Mishima and Stanley 1998, Stokely et al. 2010). It can remain a liquid even under conditions where a more stable phase exists, and in those conditions is said to be supercooled. Supercooled water can be prompted to turn int...
متن کاملA Study of Water Supercooling
The objective of this paper is to investigate water supercooling. Supercooling occurs when a liquid does not freeze although its temperature is below its freezing point. In general, supercooling is an unstable condition and occurs under special conditions. The parameters that influence supercooling stability and probability of occurrence include freezer temperature and water’s initial temperatu...
