Here is a concise outline of the key topics covered in the chapter “Morphology of Flowering Plants” for Class 11 Biology, tailored for NEET preparation:

 

Root

 

Types of roots (taproot, fibrous root, adventitious root)

Regions of the root (root cap, meristematic zone, elongation zone, maturation zone)

Modifications of roots (storage roots, respiratory roots, aerial roots, etc.)

Stem

 

Types of stems (herbaceous, woody)

Structure of the stem (nodes, internodes, buds)

Modifications of stems (tubers, rhizomes, corms, stolons, runners, etc.)

Leaf

 

Parts of a leaf (lamina, petiole, stipules, midrib, veins)

Types of leaves (simple, compound)

Phyllotaxy (alternate, opposite, whorled)

Venation (reticulate, parallel)

Modifications of leaves (tendrils, spines, storage leaves, etc.)

Inflorescence

 

Types of inflorescence (racemose, cymose)

Flower

 

Parts of a flower (sepals, petals, stamens, carpels)

Types of flowers (complete, incomplete, bisexual, unisexual)

Floral symmetry (actinomorphic, zygomorphic)

Floral formula and diagram

Fruit

 

Types of fruits (simple, aggregate, multiple)

Classification of fruits (fleshy, dry)

Seed

 

Structure of dicot and monocot seeds

Types of seeds (albuminous, exalbuminous)

Germination (types and process)

Modifications and Adaptations

 

Various plant parts adapted for different functions (storage, support, reproduction)

Families

 

Description and examples of important plant families (Fabaceae, Solanaceae, Liliaceae)

These topics cover the fundamental aspects of the morphology of flowering plants, essential for understanding plant structure and functions, and preparing for NEET
