  托福阅读词汇题:Consequently

  【Paragraph 1】Survival and successful reproduction usually require the activities of animals to be coordinated  with predictable events around them. Consequently, the timing and rhythms of biological functions must closely match  periodic events like the solar day, the tides, the lunar cycle, and the seasons. The relations between animal activity and these periods, particularly for the daily rhythms, have been of such interest and importance that a huge amount of  work has been done on them and the special research field of chronobiology has emerged. Normally, the constantly  changing levels of an animal's activity—sleeping, feeding, moving, reproducing, metabolizing, and producing enzymes  and hormones, for example—are well coordinated with environmental rhythms, but the key question is whether the  animal's schedule is driven by external cues, such as sunrise or sunset, or is instead dependent somehow on internal timers that themselves generate the observed biological rhythms. Almost universally, biologists accept the idea that all eukaryotes (a category that includes most organisms except bacteria and certain algae) have internal clocks. By isolating organisms completely from external periodic cues, biologists learned that organisms have internal clocks. For instance, apparently normal daily periods of biological activity were maintained for about a week by the fungus Neurospora when it was intentionally isolated from all geophysical timing cues while orbiting in a space shuttle. The continuation of biological rhythms in an organism without external cues attests to its having an internal clock. (Biological Clocks)
