Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Plants use the circadian clock to anticipate diurnal changes. Circadian rhythm predicts a 24-h cycle with 16 h of light and 8 h of darkness in response to abiotic and biotic factors as well as the appropriate temperature.

Detailed explanation-2: -A typical circadian rhythm in humans is one where peak alertness is around 2-3 hours after awakening and 8-9 hours after awakening, and where fatigue is most likely at around 3 AM, if you wake up like most people do at around 7-9 AM in the morning. However, this rhythm is impacted by many factors and it can be shifted.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plant circadian rhythms tell the plant what season it is and when to flower for the best chance of attracting pollinators. Behaviors showing rhythms include leaf movement, growth, germination, stomatal/gas exchange, enzyme activity, photosynthetic activity, and fragrance emission, among others.

Detailed explanation-4: -Circadian rhythm prepares the plants for upcoming challenges by anticipating daily environmental and seasonal changes. Circadian clocks consist of various transcriptional and translational feedback loops that are conserved across plant species.
