Biological Clock Found in Plants

Joe the Lesser writes "This CNN article discusses how scientists have found that a chemical 'clock' that tells a plant to prepare for the sun. The clock controls an enzyme that modifies a protein called D1. This protein is critical for photosynthesis, the process whereby plants extract light and convert it to food. When D1 binds with phosphorus, it creates a modified protein found in chloroplast -- a special structure in the cell that's made of carbohydrates, fat and proteins."

Of course plants have a biological clock. That's why I switched to boxers.

It's almost like that's a joke, except it isn't funny and it doesn't even make any sense.
