Physiological Processes in Plants and Animals explores the vital biological functions that sustain life in both plant and animal systems, focusing on how organisms carry out essential activities such as nutrition, respiration, circulation, excretion, growth, and reproduction. It examines key plant processes like photosynthesis, transpiration, and nutrient transport, as well as animal processes such as digestion, respiration, blood circulation, and regulation through the nervous and endocrine systems. The topic highlights both similarities and differences in how plants and animals maintain internal balance and respond to environmental changes. Course objectives include enabling learners to understand major physiological processes in plants and animals, identify the structures involved in these functions, compare how these processes differ across organisms, and develop the ability to explain how physiological systems contribute to survival and adaptation.
