Honours Biology – Physiology investigates how organisms’ function at all levels, from molecules through cells, tissues, organs and whole animals.Students in this program study many physiological processes including nutrition, growth, reproduction, respiration, osmoregulation and excretion.Physiology is concerned with how organisms’ function and it includes the study of processes such as nutrition, growth, reproduction, respiration, osmoregulation and excretion. This area also examines how animals’ sense and respond to conditions such as low oxygen availability or to environmental challenges such as pollution or global warming. Physiology involves study at all levels from molecules through cells, tissues, organs and whole animals.
