CBSE Class 12 - Biology
 Sample Question Paper + Solution- (2018-19)

Biology is the study of life. All living things share five basic properties, passed down over millions of years from the first organisms to evolve on earth: cellular organization, metabolism, homeostasis, growth and reproduction, and heredity. Life’s organisms interact with each other at many levels, in ways simple and complex. Thus they show hierarchical organization. A variety of processes can produce evolutionary change. Most evolutionary biologists, however, agree with Darwin’s thinking that natural selection is the primary process responsible for evolution. Many such topics are covered in class 12 biology. 

Here follows the class 12  Biology sample question paper along with the marking scheme and answers for your assessment.

Class 9 - 12 - Biology - Know About Disease - Brief Notes About AIDS (#cbsenotes)(#eduvictors)

AIDS(A Brief Introduction)

Meaning of AIDS

✤ The word AIDS stands for Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome. This means a deficiency of the immune system, acquired during the lifetime of an individual indicating that it is not a congenital disease [disease or abnormality present from birth]. ‘Syndrome’ means a group of symptoms.


✤ AIDS was first reported in 1981 and in the last twenty-five years or so, it has spread all over the world.

✤ Luc Montagnier, Françoise Barré-Sinoussi, and their colleagues at the Pasteur Institute in Paris were the first to report the discovery of the virus now called the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) associated with AIDS.

Cell Biology - 7 Points about Plasmolysis

1. When a living plant cell loses water through osmosis there is shrinkage or contraction of the contents of the cell away from the cell wall. This phenomenon is known as plasmolysis
(plasma → fluid; lysis → disintegration, decomposition).


2. Only living cells, and not dead cells, are able to absorb water by osmosis.


3. Cell walls permit the cells of plants, fungi and bacteria to withstand very dilute [hypotonic] external media without shrinkage.

CBSE Class 11 - Biology - Understanding Plant Growth (#cbsenotes)(#eduvictors)

Understanding Plant Growth

Q1: Define growth.

Answer: Growth in an organism consists of a permanent and more or less irreversible increase in size, commonly accompanied by an increase in dry mass and amount of cytoplasm.


Q2: Define development.

Answer: The coordination of growth and differentiation of a single cell into multicellular tissues and organs is called development.


Q3: How the growth of living beings is different from non-living?

Answer: Growth in living beings is intrinsic or internal, in contrast to extrinsic growth observed in non-living objects.


Q4: How is plant growth different from animal growth?

Answer: Plant growth is generally indeterminate, i.e., continued throughout life while animal growth is non-continuous i.e. after a certain age, the ageing starts leading to death. In plants, the growth is diffused and localised while animal growth is uniform.


Q5: How plant growth is categorised?
