Name the three important components of biodiversity. Ans. Different type of living forms like plants animals insects microbes etc together form biodiversity. Biodiversity can have 3 components - (i) Species diversity (ii) Genetic diversity (iii) Ecosystem diversity 2. How do ecologists estimate the total number of species present in the world ? Ans. Since there is very large number of organisms present on earth, it is impossible to count every Organism. Also many Organisms are present in very harsh habitats which are very hard to explore. So, Ecologists try to estimate the total number of species by looking for patterns in biodiversity. For example space is diversity decreases when we move from equator to poles. This pattern in diversity gives an estimate number of different...

Evolution Mind map for NEET and Class 12 Genetics unit NCERT Solutions For Class 12 Biology Chapter 7 Evolution Question 1. Explain antibiotic resistance observed in bacteria in light of Darwinian selection theory . Ans. According to Darwin's theory, organisms which develop favourable variations against a given situation, can survive. When we expose a population of bacteria to antibiotics, most of them die. However some bacteria which have  developed resistance against the antibiotics due to mutations will survive and reproduce. This can form all new population of bacteria which is resistant to an antibiotic. To download PDF -  Click here to download Evolution mind map PDF To join telegram -  Click here Question 2.

Transport in Plants Mind map Class 11 NEET AIIMS Brain map Best short notes

PDF of the Mind Map if given at end of this page 👇👇 NCERT Solutions for Class 11 Chapter Transport in plants - Question 1- What are the factors affecting the rate of diffusion? Answer: Factors affecting diffusion are -  Concentration gradient, Permeability of membrane; separating the substance, Temperature and Pressure. Question 2 - What are porins? What role do they play in diffusion? Answer: Special type of protein called Carrier proteins form porin channels in the outer membranes of plastids, mitochondria and some bacteria. The porin channels allow the molecules to pass through membrane. Molecules stick to the transport protein and are transported by facilitated diffusion. Question 3 - Describe the role played by protein pumps during active transport in plants. Answer: Protein pumps are used to transport substances against a concentrations gradient. This is a type of active transport. Active transport is carried out by membrane proteins. Pumps are proteins which use energy to ...

How is diapause different from hibernation? Ans . Diapause is a stage of suspended growth where an organism like zooplankton temporarily stop or slow down its growth. Metabolic activities are reduced during this period. Hibernation is also known as winter sleep where an organism reduces it's physical activities and remains in a sleep like state. Hibernation is seen in bears. 2. If a marine fish is placed in a fresh water aquarium, will the fish be able to survive? Why or why not? Ans. If we place a marine fish in freshwater or in aquarium, the fish will not be able to survive due to large change in salt concentration of water. The salt concentration in freshwater is very low in compared to the sea water. 3. Define phenotypic adapt...

Biomolecules Mind map PDF NEET CBSE CLASS 11

Biomolecules : All the carbon compounds that we get from living tissues are called Biomolecules. Biomicromolecules : Molecules which have molecular weights less than one thousand dalton. They are also known as monomers. They are found acid soluble fraction. Biomacromolecules : A biomolecule with molecular weight in the range of ten thousand daltons and above; found in acid insoluble fraction. e.g. polysaccharides, nucleic acids, proteins and lipids. How to analyse chemical composition of living tissues? Living tissue are treated with Trichloroacetic acid and then grinded to get Thick Slurry. Then it is filtered through cheese cloth. This gives us two parts - Filterate (Acid soluble pool) and Retentate (Acid insoluble pool). Primary and secondary metabolites : Primary metabolites have identifiable functions and play important roles in normal physiological process eg. Amino acids, nitrogenous bases, proteins and nucleic acid. Secondary metabolites are product of certain metabolic path...

Breathing and exchange of gases Mind map NEET AIIMS Class 11 Biology Human physiology

Oxygen is used by all organism to break down nutrient molecules like protein, glucose and fat to derive energy and use that energy to perform various activities. The process of exchange of oxygen from the atmosphere with carbon dioxide produced by the body is called breathing which is commonly known as respiration. Different type of organism have different ways for respiration. Respiratory organs like gills are used by aquatic arthropods and molluscs. Lungs are present in terrestrial organisms for exchange of gases. Image credit: NCERT Biology class 11 Respiratory volumes - Tidal volume (TV) : Volume of air taken in/given out during normal respiration = 500 mL. Inspiratory Reserve Volume (IRV) : Additional volume of air inspired by forcible inspiration =  2500mL to 3000mL. Expiratory Reserve Volume (ERV) : Additional volume of air, a person can expire by a forcible expiration. Residual volume (RV) : Volume of air remaining in the lungs even after a forcible expiration = 1100 mL...

Body Fluids and Circulation Mind map Class 11 Chapter 18 NEET

Note : PDF is at end of this page👇👇 Blood is a special connective tissue which is used to transport substances like enzymes, gases and waste materials from one part of the body to other. Blood consists of two major parts - plasma and formed elements. 55% of the blood is plasma while formed elements constitute 45% of the blood.  Plasma is a liquid part of blood which is straw coloured liquid. 90 to 92% of plasma is water and 6 to 8% is protein. Plasma have three types of protein albumin, globumin,  Blood plasma without clotting factor is known as  serum. Red blood cells are also called erythrocytes. In blood there are about 4.5 to 5.5 million RBCs per  millimetre cube of blood. RBC are red color,  circular, biconcave cells. RBCs don't have nucleus, that is there enucleated. This is because all of the inner space in RBC is used to carry oxygen. RBCs also lack cell organelles like endoplasmic reticulum, ribosomes, mitochondria etc. RBCs are formed in red bone mar...
