Photoperiodism is the response of the plant to daylight and darkness. For short day plants it will bloom in darkness and when darkness exceeds critical night length, for long day plants it will bloom during daylight and when darkness is less than the critical night length.

What is the factors that initiates flowering in a long day plants?
Nights shorter than a critical length. Long day plants can also be thought of as short night plants.
What is the pigment responsible for photoperiodism?
Action spectra and photoreversibility experiments show that phytochrome is the pigment that receives the red light. Red light is the most effective color in interrupting the night-time portion of the photoperiod.
How many times a day do children breathe?
Not really a difficult question until you consider the activity of a child during the day and the length of sleep at night. The average adult takes 21,600 breaths a day
What are the differences between short day plants and long day plants?
A long day plant requires fewer than a certain number of hours of darkness in each 24 hour period to induce flowering. These plants typically flower in the late spring or early summer as days are getting longer. Short day plants flower when the night is longer than a critical length. They cannot flower under the long days of summer. These plants generally flower in late summer or fall, as days are getting shorter. Short day plants will not flower if a pulse of artificial light is shined on the plant for several minutes during the middle of the night; they require a consolidated period of darkness before floral development can begin. Natural nighttime light, such as moonlight or lightning, is not of sufficient brightness or duration to interrupt flowering.
Why does astigmatism affect your night vision?
At night, the pupil dilates to let in more light. Astigmatism is a distortion in the cornea that causes different focal lengths for light passing through different parts of the cornea into the lens. With a small aperture (constricted pupil), the differences do not cause noticeable blurring; just as in a camera, a small aperture gives greater depth of field. At night, when the aperture is larger (dilated pupil), the eye has less depth of field, so the imprecise focal length of the eye causes the image to be noticeably blurred.
What is the response of plants or animals - to changes in the length of day or night - called?
This response is called, photoperiodism.
What factor controls photoperiodism in flowering plants?
Photoperiodism is a mechanism that plants and animals have that reacts to the length of the night and day. It influences flowering because certain types of flowers will only bloom after long periods of darkness, while others can flower during shorter night time periods. Photoperiodism allows the plant to know what time it should flower.

Where on Earth are day and night of equal length throughout the year?
Day and night are of equal length throughout the year at the equator.
What are circadian rhythms and how are they of adaptive value?
Circadian rhythms are biological processes that follow a 24-hour cycle, influencing sleep-wake patterns, hormone release, and other physiological activities. These rhythms are adaptive as they help organisms anticipate and respond to regular environmental changes, such as light and darkness, allowing for more efficient functioning and energy conservation. Disruption of circadian rhythms can lead to negative effects on health and wellbeing.
