Class 11 Biology
This course explores the intricate complexity of living systems from the molecular level to the vast diversity of the biosphere. Students investigate cellular mechanics, physiological processes, and the classification systems that help us understand the natural world.
Diversity in the Living World
Students explore the vast array of organisms and the systematic methods used to classify and name them according to evolutionary relationships.
An investigation into what defines life and the hierarchical systems used to organize biological diversity.
A study of the Five Kingdom system and the unique characteristics of Monera, Protista, Fungi, Plantae, and Animalia.
An analysis of the structural and functional complexities within multicellular eukaryotic organisms.
Structural Organization in Plants and Animals
A detailed look at the morphology and internal anatomy of organisms, focusing on how structure dictates function.
Examination of the external features and internal tissue systems of angiosperms.
Study of animal tissues and the organ systems of representative organisms like the cockroach and frog.
Cell Biology: Structure and Functions
The study of the cell as the fundamental unit of life, including its organelles, chemical composition, and division cycles.
Exploration of prokaryotic and eukaryotic cell structures and the specialized roles of organelles.
Analysis of the chemical constituents of living cells, including proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids.
Understanding the mechanisms of mitosis and meiosis and their significance in growth and reproduction.
Plant Physiology
Study of metabolic processes in plants, including photosynthesis, respiration, and growth regulation.
Investigating how plants convert light energy into chemical energy through complex biochemical pathways.
Examining the breakdown of glucose and the generation of ATP within plant cells.
The study of plant hormones and the internal and external factors that regulate growth cycles.
Human Physiology: Systems and Coordination
An integrated study of human organ systems, focusing on homeostasis and physiological regulation.
Study of the respiratory organs and the mechanism of gas transport in the human body.
Examination of blood, lymph, and the mechanics of the human heart.
Study of the kidney function, urine formation, and the role of osmoregulation.
Neural and Chemical Regulation
Exploring how the nervous and endocrine systems communicate to control body functions.
Analysis of the nervous system, impulse conduction, and sensory perception.
The study of endocrine glands and the mechanism of hormone action.
