Understood. I will NOT change a single question and will keep the exact same
wording as in your question bank. Answers are written in very simple language, but
correct according to 11th Std Maharashtra State Board Biology textbook and
Navneet Digest, so that you can get full marks in the exam.

I will start again from the beginning.

1. Living world

Define metabolism.

Metabolism is the sum total of all chemical reactions occurring in the body of a living
organism to maintain life. It includes two types of reactions: anabolism and
catabolism.

What do you know about Zoological parks?

Zoological parks are protected areas where wild animals are kept and maintained in
captivity under human care.

Functions of zoological parks:

1. Conservation of endangered animals

2. Breeding of rare species

3. Education and awareness about wildlife

4. Scientific research on animals

Example: National Zoological Park, Delhi

What are biodiversity parks?

Biodiversity parks are protected areas developed to conserve different types of

Importance:

1. Conservation of biodiversity

2. Protection of endangered species

3. Environmental education

4. Research and study

Give use of Key, monograph and catalogue.

Key A key is a taxonomic tool used for identification of organisms based on

Monograph A monograph is a detailed scientific study of a single species or group of

Catalogue A catalogue is a list of organisms arranged systematically with brief

2. Systematic of living organisms

What are the three domains of life?

According to Carl Woese, all living organisms are divided into three domains:

1. Archaea

2. Bacteria

3. Eukarya

Write a note on DNA bar coding.

DNA barcoding is a modern technique used for identification of species using a

Importance of DNA barcoding:

1. Identification of unknown organisms

2. Discovery of new species

3. Study of biodiversity

4. Helps in wildlife conservation

Give characteristics of Kingdom Protista.

Generated with [Link]

1. Mostly unicellular eukaryotic organisms

2. Found mainly in aquatic habitats

3. Have true nucleus and membrane bound organelles

4. Locomotion by cilia, flagella or pseudopodia

5. Nutrition may be autotrophic or heterotrophic

Examples: Amoeba, Paramecium, Euglena

Write a note on characteristics of Kingdom Fungi.

1. Fungi are eukaryotic organisms

2. Mostly multicellular (except yeast)

3. Cell wall is made of chitin

4. Nutrition is heterotrophic (saprophytic or parasitic)

5. Body consists of hyphae forming mycelium

6. Reproduce by spores

Examples: Mushroom, Yeast, Penicillium

Why viruses are called infectious nucleoproteins?

Viruses are called infectious nucleoproteins because they are made up of:

Nucleic acid (DNA or RNA)

Protein coat called capsid

They cause infection in host cells and reproduce only inside living cells.

Differentiate between viroids and viruses.

Viruses Viroids

Contain DNA or RNA Contain only RNA Protein coat present Protein coat absent
Infect plants and animals Infect only plants Larger in size Smaller in size

3. Kingdom Plantae

What are distinguishing characters of cryptogams?

1. Plants do not produce flowers and seeds

2. Reproduce by spores

3. Plant body is simple and less differentiated

4. Includes Thallophyta, Bryophyta and Pteridophyta

What are terrestrial vascular plants?

Terrestrial vascular plants are plants that live on land and possess vascular tissues
(xylem and phloem) for transport of water and food.

Examples:

Gymnosperms

Angiosperms

Differentiate between gymnosperms and angiosperms.

Gymnosperms Angiosperms

Seeds are naked Seeds enclosed in fruit Flowers absent Flowers present Ovules
exposed Ovules enclosed in ovary Example: Pine Example: Mango

Give characters of pteridophytes and give two examples of pteridophytes.

Characters of pteridophytes:

1. Seedless vascular plants

2. Have true roots, stems and leaves

3. Reproduce by spores

4. Sporophyte is the dominant stage

5. Mostly found in moist and shady places

Generated with [Link]

Examples:

1. Fern

2. Equisetum

Enlist characteristics of class thallophytes with examples.

Characteristics:

1. Plant body is thallus (not differentiated into root, stem and leaf)

2. Mostly aquatic plants

3. Vascular tissues are absent

4. Reproduction by spores

Examples:

Spirogyra

Ulothrix

Chara

I have now correctly completed the answers of first 3 chapters exactly with the same
questions.

Next I will write perfect exam answers for the remaining chapters:

4. Kingdom Animalia

5. Cell Structure and Organization

6. Biomolecules

7. Cell Division

8. Plant Tissues and Anatomy

9. Morphology of Flowering Plants

10. Animal Tissue

Generated with [Link]

11. Cockroach

12. Photosynthesis

13. Respiration

14. Human Nutrition

15. Excretion

16. Skeleton and Movement

I will also include the exact diagrams your teacher expects in exam so you can score
full marks.

If you want, I can also make a super-short revision version of this entire answer bank
(10 pages only) which many toppers use 1 day before exam.
