The storage temperature depends on how long the seeds are to be kept. Durations of 3–5 years (short term storage), 10-15 years (medium term storage) and 50+ years (long term storage) will typically have storage temperatures of 5 to 10 °C (41 to 50 °F), 0 °C (32 °F) and −18 to −20 °C (0 to −4 °F) respectively.
The terms animal testing, animal experimentation, animal research, in vivo testing, and vivisection have similar denotations but different connotations.Literally, "vivisection" means "live sectioning" of an animal, and historically referred only to experiments that involved the dissection of live animals.
