C.- Read the text and answer the following questions.

Chronobiology

Chronobiology might sound a little futuristic, but it’s actually a field of study that concerns one of
the oldest processes life on this planet has ever known: short-term rhythms of time and their effect
on flora and fauna.

This can take many forms. Marine life, for example, has been influenced by tidal patterns. Animals
tend to be active or inactive depending on the position of the sun or moon. Numerous creatures,
humans included, are largely diurnal – that is, they like to come out during the hours of sunlight.
Nocturnal animals, such as bats and possums, prefer to forage by night. A third group is known as
crepuscular: they thrive in the lowlight of dawn and dusk and remain inactive at other hours.

When it comes to humans, chronobiologists are interested in what is known as the circadian rhythm.
This is the complete cycle our bodies are naturally geared to undergo within the passage of a twenty-
four hour day. Aside from sleeping at night and waking during the day, each cycle involves many
other factors such as changes in blood pressure and body temperature. Not everyone has an identical
circadian rhythm. ‘Night people’, for example, often describe how they find it very hard to operate
during the morning, but become alert and focused by evening. This is a benign variation within
circadian rhythms known as a chronotype.
