What will be the result if you extend the length of time a short-day plant receives light beyond its critical photoperiod?
its bloom will be delayed until the length of exposure is less than the critical photoperiod
its bloom will be prolonged as long as its exposure to light is greater than the critical photoperiod
its period of bloom will match the period of extended light
its bloom will be disrupted and it will never blossom

as the gila monster consumes the eggs or young of the desert cottontail and gambel's quail, thus its main food supply is only accessible for a restricted time duration every year. however, for this, the gila monsters exhibit three adaptations, which elevate their survival rate in the desert condition.  

first, is that they possess huge bodies, and can consume greater concentrations of food during a small period. secondly, they require to feed infrequently as they can accumulate fat in their tails. ultimately, their rate of metabolism is very low, so that they can burn their reservoirs of fat gradually.  

the correct answer to this question is #5
