🧬 NEET Biology Class 11 Notes Important Topics

Chapter 1 – The Living World

Biology is the science of life. Organisms show growth, reproduction, metabolism, and response to stimuli.

  • Metabolism: Sum of all biochemical reactions in a living cell.
  • Taxonomy: Science of naming and classifying organisms.
  • Binomial Nomenclature: Proposed by Linnaeus — two names (Genus + Species).
  • Hierarchy: Kingdom → Phylum → Class → Order → Family → Genus → Species.
  • Taxonomical Aids: Herbarium, Botanical Gardens, Museums, Zoological Parks.
💡 NEET Tip: Questions often test scientific names and classification ranks.

Chapter 2 – Biological Classification

  • Whittaker’s Five Kingdoms: Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, Animalia.
  • Monera: Prokaryotic (bacteria, cyanobacteria).
  • Protista: Unicellular eukaryotes (Amoeba, Euglena).
  • Fungi: Heterotrophic, chitin wall, spore reproduction (Yeast, Mushroom).
  • Plantae: Multicellular autotrophs with cellulose walls.
  • Animalia: Multicellular, no cell wall, heterotrophic.
🦠 Note: Viruses are acellular and replicate only inside a host cell (HIV, TMV).

Chapter 3 – Plant Kingdom

  • Major Groups: Algae, Bryophyta, Pteridophyta, Gymnosperms, Angiosperms.
  • Algae: Aquatic, photosynthetic (Chlamydomonas, Spirogyra).
  • Bryophytes: Require water for fertilization (Mosses).
  • Pteridophytes: First vascular plants (Ferns).
  • Gymnosperms: Naked seeds (Cycas, Pinus).
  • Angiosperms: Flowering plants with double fertilization.
🌿 Remember: Double fertilization is unique to angiosperms.

Chapter 4 – Animal Kingdom

  • Organisation Levels: Cellular → Tissue → Organ → System.
  • Symmetry: Radial (Hydra), Bilateral (Human).
  • Phyla Highlights: Porifera, Cnidaria, Platyhelminthes, Annelida, Arthropoda, Mollusca, Echinodermata, Chordata.
🐠 NEET Focus: Differentiate between non-chordates and chordates.

Chapter 5 – Morphology of Flowering Plants

  • Root: Tap vs Fibrous types and modifications (carrot, beetroot).
  • Stem: Support and transport (potato = modified stem).
  • Leaf: Photosynthesis and gas exchange (onion = modified leaf).
  • Flower: Reproductive structure (Calyx, Corolla, Androecium, Gynoecium).
  • Fruit & Seed: Ripened ovary and fertilized ovule.
🌸 Example Question: Identify floral whorls and their functions in a diagram.

Chapter 6 – Anatomy of Flowering Plants

  • Tissues: Meristematic (Apical, Intercalary, Lateral) and Permanent.
  • Xylem: Transports water and minerals.
  • Phloem: Transports food throughout plant.
  • Secondary Growth: Vascular cambium activity forms annual rings.

Chapter 7 – Structural Organisation in Animals

  • Tissues: Epithelial, Connective, Muscular, Nervous.
  • Examples: Bone, Cartilage, Ligament, Neuron.
  • Animals to Study: Earthworm, Cockroach, Frog.
🐸 Tip: Labelled diagrams from NCERT are frequently asked in NEET.
