This response is called, photoperiodism.
Animals may migrate in response to environmental triggers such as seasonal changes, fluctuations in temperature, availability of food, water scarcity, breeding opportunities, and changing day length. These triggers prompt animals to move to more suitable habitats where they can thrive and survive.
The protoreceptor that allows plants to detect day length is called phytochrome. Phytochromes are photoreceptors that absorb light, particularly in the red and far-red spectrum, and play a crucial role in regulating various aspects of plant growth and development, including flowering time in response to changes in day length. They help plants determine the length of day and night, influencing their physiological responses to seasonal changes.
The first response a neuron makes to a stimulus is called depolarization. This is when the neuron's electrical charge changes, allowing it to transmit an electrical signal down its length to communicate with other neurons.
Any response length prohibitively long to be considered a short response

Birds migrate to the North in response to seasonal changes in temperature and food availability. They follow migration routes that lead them to areas where they can find suitable breeding grounds and abundant food sources.
Flowering plants respond to daily cycles of light and darkness through a process called photoperiodism. This involves sensing the duration of light and dark periods, which triggers physiological changes related to flowering. For example, short-day plants flower when exposed to longer periods of darkness, while long-day plants flower when exposed to shorter periods of darkness. This response allows plants to synchronize their reproductive efforts with seasonal changes in day length.
Critical night length is the duration of darkness required for a plant to initiate or cease a biological process such as flowering or seed germination. It varies among plant species and is important for regulating their growth and development in response to changes in daylight.
Birds migrate long distances primarily in response to changes in day length, which serve as a key environmental cue. As days grow longer in spring, hormonal changes initiate behaviors such as increased feeding and preparation for the journey. Additionally, physiological adaptations occur, including changes in fat storage and muscle development, enabling birds to endure the demands of migration. This remarkable synchronization with seasonal changes ensures their survival and successful reproduction.
Any given length of tubing will produce a specific set of notes on what is called the "overtone series." By making the length longer or shorter, it changes the group of available notes.
The term for the length of time it takes for you to respond to a stimulus is called reaction time. It is the time from when a stimulus is presented to when a response is initiated.
