Course Overview
CLASS 11 BIOLOGY
Biology is defined as the study of living organisms, their origins, anatomy, morphology, physiology, behaviour, and distribution.
Unit- I Diversity in the living organisms

It consists of simple tissues such as parenchyma, collenchyma and sclerenchyma. Parenchymatous cells are usually present in the cortex, pericycle, pith and medullary rays, in the primary stems and roots. In leaves, the ground tissue consists of thin-walled chloroplast-containing cells and is called mesophyll.

Chapter- 11 Transport in plants
Transport in plants refers to the process of carrying water, minerals, and nutrients across various parts of the plant body. This transport includes carrying food from leaves to other parts and the minerals and water absorbed by the other parts to the leaves, which are referred to as the kitchen of the plants.

Ammonia, urea and uric acid are the major forms of nitrogenous wastes excreted by animals.

The process of excreting ammonia is Ammonotelism.
