TL;DR
Physiological processes in plants and animals are rhythmic, that is, they undergo a 24 h sequence of change at the end of which the initial situation has been re-established.
Abstract
MANY physiological processes in plants and animals are rhythmic, that is, they undergo a 24 h sequence of change at the end of which the initial situation has been re-established. Furthermore, these rhythms almost always persist in the absence of temperature and light–dark cycles. These persistent rhythms are said to be timed by the organism's biological clock1.

In intertidal organisms the rates at which various physiological functions proceed are often related to the state of the tide, and the rate of many of these functions continues to vacillate in approximate synchrony with the tide when organisms are removed to non-tidal, constant conditions in the laboratory.
