NEET tracker for Botany | NEET-UG 2022 | Minimal syllabus tracker

Printable minimal Botany subject syllabus NEET tracker

NEET has a huge syllabus to track! But once you did it, you had secured a place in a top medical college and began the journey on the path of your dream to be a Doctor. Having a minimal tracker which helps you track your syllabus for NEET can be really helpful.

Also, check - the NEET Physics syllabus checklist, Zoology syllabus and Chemistry syllabus checklist

After asking many students how they keep track of their progress for NEET, most of them have no clue about that. The most troubling thing is some does not know why they should keep track. They believe in studying on and on. However, some students answered saying that they use Excel or a todo app to keep track of their preparation, which is a very inefficient method as digital devices can be a distraction even when you are trying to study hard for your NEET.

Here we at EAMCET SPACE have designed a minimal tracker for you to score well in your NEET Botany exam. NEET Botany Tracker can be really efficient for 2022 UG NEET

Preparation Tips for Botany NEET

Before we begin let us have a look at the chapters that fall under Botany and the number of questions that were asked from each chapter.

last 10 years question from botany for neet exam

It is often seen that most of the NEET aspirants love to spend time on Zoology and when it comes to Botany they find it boring. You can make any subject interesting if you know the right way to study it. Given below are some useful points that could make your Botany preparations fruitful.

Follow the same order that is given in the NCERT textbook.
Make sure you are thorough with the basic concepts and terms such as
1. Binomial nomenclature
2. Different Symmetries
3. Taxonomical hierarchy
4. Levels of organisation
5. Biological classification
6. Dicot and Monocot differences
7. Angiosperms and gymnosperms differences
Read NCERT word by word. Do not skip any sentences because you can expect a lot of statement type questions that are direct from NCERT.

In-Depth Learning of each unit – Class 11

Start off with the 1st unit, Diversity in the living world. Focus more on the below points
1. Taxonomical Hierarchy
2. Bionomial nomenclature
3. Taxonomical aids
4. Biological classification
5. All the examples with scientific names
6. Alternation of generation
7. The characteristics of different Kingdoms and sub classes.
Next in the line would be Morphology and Anatomy of flowering plants. Focus on the below points:
1. Different Modifications and functions
2. All the examples with scientific names
3. Inflorescence
4. Floral formula and diagram
5. Plant tissues
6. Characteristics of dicot and monocot roots and stems
7. You should be able to identify the kind of plant tissue based on diagrams
8. Do not miss out on any images that are given in the NCERT textbook.
Next, you can start with Cell the unit of life and cell cycle and cell division. Focus on
1. Eukaryotic and prokaryotic cell difference
2. Cell Organelles with their function
3. All Images given in the NCERT textbook.
4. Different phases of cell cycle
5. The chromosomal features
6. Different stages of meiosis II
Once you are confident with the above portions, you can start off with Plant physiology. This unit requires more time to prepare. This is the unit that has got the maximum number of cycles.
- From the chapter, Transport in Plants, focus on the below points
  1. Translocation
  2. Functions of xylem and phloem
  3. Active and passive transport
  4. Different potentials
  5. Diffusion
  6. Mass flow hypothesis
  7. Structure of stomata
  8. Symplastic and apoplastic pathway
- From the chapter, Mineral Nutrition, focus on the below points
  1. Essential elements
  2. Deficiencies in plants
  3. Toxicity
  4. Nitrogen fixation
  5. Nitrogen cycle
- From the chapter, Photosynthesis in higher plants, focus on
  1. Light reaction vs Dark reaction
  2. Photophosphorylation
  3. Calvin cycle
  4. Hatch and Slack pathway
  5. C4 pathway
  6. Kranz Anatomy
  7. Important experiments
- From the chapter, Respiration of plants, focus on
  1. Glycolysis
  2. TCA cycle
  3. Oxidative phosphorylation
  4. Electron transport complex
- From the chapter, Plant growth and development, focus on
  1. Plant growth models
  2. Plant growth regulators and Inhibitors
  3. All the functions and examples of the respective plant hormones
  4. Photoperiodism
  5. Vernalisation

With the above chapters, you will be done with the entire class 11th Botany topics. Compared to class 11 topics, class 12 topics are much easy. If your basic concepts are strong, for example in class 11th you had studied about Angiosperms.

In-Depth Learning of each unit – Class 12

In class 12, the chapter sexual reproduction in flowering plants becomes easy if you had studied about angiosperms and basic floral terms in class 11th. The unit which can be said difficult is only the unit on Genetics. Apart from genetics, all you have is a unit on Ecology, Biotechnology, Biology in human welfare, and one chapter from Reproduction i.e Sexual reproduction in flowering plants.

Given below are a few tips that you can follow while preparing genetics:

Understand all the terms properly such as
1. Dominance
2. Recessive
3. Codominance
4. Alleles
5. Translation
6. Transcription
Be thorough with punnet square. Practice different problems with punnet square and learn how to solve questions based on different conditions.
Try to memorise some of the recessive and dominant traits
Focus on the chromosome number or names especially while studying disorders.
If you feel some concepts are difficult to understand, try to put it in the form of diagrams and then study.

For example: Transcription uses a strand of DNA as a template to build a molecule called RNA. The RNA molecule is the link between DNA and the production of proteins. During translation, the RNA molecule created in the transcription process delivers information from the DNA to the protein-building machines.

If you put down the above sentences in the form of the below diagram, you can learn it at ease and you will be able to recollect better.

Notes Preparation for NEET

Preparation of notes is one of the important neet preparation tips that can help you understand and memorize the topics in a better way. Moreover, it improves your memory skills too.
Refer to some high-quality study materials to prepare notes that help you to stay on the right track. You can use the internet as a source for choosing the best study material, you can even discuss your concerns with your teachers and you can post your doubts on online discussion forums too. While considering the online methods you can refer to the Keys From Basidia
While preparing notes highlight the points which you feel is important so that you can have a quick read and in fact, that helps you to improvise your memory. These prepared notes can be used for last-minute revision purposes also.

Attend Frequent Mock Tests

You would get a good understanding of the format of the examination by taking NEET Mock Test very frequently. It is highly recommended that you attend these mock tests frequently since they can improve your time management abilities too. By analyzing the NEET mock test, you will be able to see where you went wrong and, as a result, you will be able to take the required steps to avoid making the same mistakes again.

Benefits of NEET Mock Tests

Helps to get familiarised with the exam Pattern
Improves your speed and time amangement abilities
Helps to identify your strength and weakness
Understand the difficulty level of each subject
Creates exam kind of atmosphere
