BIOL 332 - Plant Physiology

Physiology is a branch of biological study that deals with the functions and activities of life, and the physical and chemical phenomena involved in all living things, including plants, animals, and single-celled organisms. Physiology investigates the mechanisms of homeostatic control, communication, and response and adaptation to the environment, etc., at the levels of organisms, organ systems, organs, cells, and molecules. These mechanisms differ considerably among organisms due to differences in structure and environment. Plant Physiology covers principles of plant functions in the areas of water relations, mineral nutrition, biochemistry and metabolism, and growth and development. Laboratory included. This course OR BIOL 315 - Animal Physiology OR BIOL 322 - Principles of Human Physiology OR BIOL 330 - Cell Biology is required as a core elective for all Biology majors. Students are encouraged to delay enrollment until after completing the Biology core courses.
