    NEET 2022 Syllabus of Biology

    Biology is the most crucial section for NEET. Students need to have in-depth knowledge and understanding of each topic covered in the syllabus of classes 11 and 12 to qualify for NEET with good marks. The following table provides the information on the chapters included for NEET Biology:

    Class 11 syllabus Class 12 syllabus
    Diversity in the living organisms Genetics and evolution
    Structural organisation of plants and animals Reproduction 
    Human physiology Biotechnology and its application
    Plant physiology Biology and human welfare
    Cell structure and its functions Environment and ecology

    Classification of Five Kingdoms

    In 1969, R.H. Whittaker introduced a classification method of living organisms which was much more refined to remove all the demerits of Linnaeus’s classification. The new classification process grouped organisms according to their cellular structure, reproductive process, thallus organisation, mode of nutrition, and phylogenetic relationship. The organisms were classified into the following five groups:

    • Monera
    • Protista
    • Fungi
    • Plantae
    • Animalia

    What Is Meant By Bacteria?

    Bacteria are single-celled organisms that belong to the prokaryotic group of living organisms. They are known to lack a nucleus and few organelles. Bacteria are the first living organisms that ever came on earth and evolved in different ways to form various microorganisms. 

    A group of bacteria display exceptionally diverse metabolic capabilities. Moreover, they can use most of the organic compounds and a few inorganic compounds as a source of food. Therefore, they are essential to maintain the ecological balance. Functions like decaying of dead organisms, nitrogen fixation, etc., can get delayed with the absence of bacteria.

    Structure of Bacteria

    Although bacteria are tiny microscopic organisms, they have a well-structured shape which consists of the following parts:

    • Capsule: It consists of polysaccharides which is a complex carbohydrate. Capsule performs multiple functions in a bacteria, but its most essential function is to protect the bacteria from drying and prevent larger organisms’ phagocytosis. It is the major virulence factor among serious disease-causing bacteria.
    • Cell envelope: It consists of two to three layers. These layers are called the cell wall – the inner cytoplasmic membrane and the outer capsule. However, the outer capsule is found in very rare cases.
    • Cell wall: All the bacteria have a rigid cell wall made of peptidoglycan and a protein-sugar molecule. The wall gives the cell a proper shape and surrounds the cytoplasmic membrane for protection from environmental factors. It also ensures adequate attachment of the flagella and pili, which originates from the cytoplasm membrane and extends through the wall to the outside environment. 
    • Cytoplasm: The cytoplasm is the part where functions like replication, metabolism, and cell growth occur. It is a gel-like compound made up of enzymes, water, wastes, nutrients, and gases. Moreover, it contains cell structures, including a chromosome, ribosomes, and plasmids. 
    • Cytoplasmic membrane: It is a layer of protein and phospholipids. It encloses the inner parts of the bacteria to regulate the flow of materials throughout the cell. This is the structural trait that bacteria share with other living cells. In addition, it acts as a barrier and allows only selective interaction with the outside environment. This membrane is very organised and has asymmetric sides. Both sides have different functions and surfaces. These membranes are highly dynamic and constantly adapt to various conditions.
    • Flagella: They are hairlike structures that help in the movement of bacteria. Some bacteria have them on either end, while others are all over the surface. This part is crucial in the bacteria’s body because it keeps the bacteria away from toxic substances, promotes movement towards nutritional substances, and for photosynthetic cyanobacteria, flagella help in the movement towards the light.
    • Nucleoid: It is a part of the cytoplasm which contains chromosomal DNA. It does not have a membrane; instead, it is just an area of cytoplasm. Most bacteria contain a single, circular chromosome that performs replication. However, some bacterial species are known to have more than two strands.
    • Pili: Several bacterial species have this structure which looks like a hairlike projection. It images from the outer cell surface of bacteria. These tiny parts are responsible for clamping bacteria to other surfaces and cells like intestines, teeth, etc. without this part, illness-causing bacteria can hardly attach themselves to the host body. Special pili are also responsible for conjugation, which is when bacteria exchange the fragments of plasmid DNA.

    How can we classify bacteria?

    Bacteria are classified into different categories according to their characteristics and features. However, they are generally classified according to the following features:

    • Composition of the cell wall
    Classification  Examples of bacteria
    Lipopolysaccharide cell wall Gram-negative bacteria
    Peptidoglycan cell wall Gram-positive bacteria

     

    • Nutrition method
    Classification  Examples of bacteria
    Heterotrophic Bacteria Illness causing bacterias
    Autotrophic Bacteria Cyanobacteria

     

    • Respiration method
    Classification  Examples of bacteria
    Aerobic Bacteria Mycobacterium
    Anaerobic Bacteria Actinomyces

     

    • Shape 
    Classification  Shape of bacteria Examples of bacteria
    Spirilla or spirochete  Spiral  Spirillum volutans
    Vibrio Comma  Vibrio cholerae
    Bacillus  Rod  Escherichia coli 
    Coccus Spherical  Streptococcus pneumoniae

     

    • Number of flagella
    Classification  Examples of bacteria
    Atrichos Corynebacterium diphtherae
    Monotrichous Vibrio cholerae
    Lophotrichous Pseudomonas
    Amphitrichous Rhodospirillum rubrum
    Peritrichous Bacillus

     

    • Temperature requirement
    Classification  Examples of bacteria
    Psychrophiles Vibrio psychroerythrus
    Psychrotrophs Aeromonas
    Mesophiles Salmonella
    Thermophiles Thermus aquaticus
    Hyperthermophiles Pyrolobus fumari

    How do bacteria reproduce?

    Most bacteria reproduce through a process known as binary fission. Conceptually it is considered a simple process where one cell grows to its double size and eventually gets divided into two parts. However, the bacteria must divide at the right time to remain competitive and viable. It is also important that the bacteria produce the exact copy of itself with all the important genetic information. The reproduction rate in bacteria depends on factors such as availability of nutrition and a favourable temperature. Some bacteria like Escherichia coli and E.coli reproduce around two million daughter cells every seven hours under favourable conditions.

    Although most bacteria reproduce asexually, some rare ones follow a sexual reproduction method. Generally, sexual reproduction happens in bacteria for adaptation according to the change in the surrounding. Caenorhabditis elegans are one of the bacteria that reproduce asexually.

    What are useful bacteria?

    Generally, we think all the bacterias are harmful and cause disease. However, some healthy bacteria help human beings in numerous ways. Some of the benefits of useful bacteria are:

    • They help produce antibiotics to fight various diseases caused by harmful bacteria.
    • They enhance our immune system and aid in the digestion of food. Some examples of these bacterias are Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, etc.
    • Bacteria like Lactobacillus help form curd, and Bacillus ferments the food for various purposes.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    1. Are Biology notes enough to qualify for NEET?

    Biology notes are crucial during NEET revision. They provide all the important topics in concise and easily understandable language. However, students can not qualify for this competitive exam just by studying from notes. To answer all the questions correctly, students need to understand all the topics given in NCERT textbooks thoroughly.

    2. What is the total number of units and chapters in class 11 Biology?

    Class 11 Biology provides a total of 22 chapters. These chapters are grouped into five units. All the units have a different number of chapters which is demonstrated in the following table:

    Sl. no Unit No. of chapters 
    1 Diversity in the living organisms 4
    2 Structural organisation of plants and animals 3
    3 Cell structure and its functions 3
    4 Plant physiology 5
    5 Human physiology 7

    3. Are diagrams necessary for NEET Biology preparation?

    Biology diagrams are highly crucial for NEET preparation. Many questions in NEET are completely diagram-based. These questions can only be answered if students know and understand the diagrams. Moreover, aspirants who know the diagrams can profoundly understand different parts’ functions. Therefore, NEET aspirants must focus on understanding the diagrams provided for each topic.

    4. How many hours do I need to study in the last three months of NEET preparation?

    NEET is a highly competitive exam. To qualify for this exam, aspirants must start early preparation because its syllabus is huge, and students need to have in-depth knowledge of each topic. However, in the last three months of NEET preparation, students need to power up their preparation strategy to revise each topic thoroughly. During this time, they must allocate nearly 13-15 hours daily to prepare for NEET.

    5. Can I qualify for NEET by studying from NCERT textbooks?

    NCERT textbooks are carefully drafted according to the NEET syllabus. Almost 80-85 % of the questions asked in NEET are covered in NCERT textbooks. Therefore, aspirants need to cover each topic provided in these textbooks thoroughly. However, students can take the help of necessary reference books to improve their preparation. But they should always remember to prepare according to the syllabus followed by NCERT books.

    6. What is the age limit to take NEET?

    All the NEET aspirants are highly sceptical about the eligibility regarding their age. According to the latest notification, the maximum age bar, which was earlier set at 25 years, has been removed. From 2022 onward, there is no maximum age limit to take NEET. However, applicants need to attain a minimum age of 17 years to appear for NEET. Applicants who are younger than 17 years are not allowed to take NEET.
