Bioenergetics is a key topic in FSC Biology and highly relevant for MDCAT and entry test preparation. It deals with the flow and transformation of energy within living organisms, primarily through processes like photosynthesis and cellular respiration. In photosynthesis, plants capture light energy to produce glucose, while in cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in…

Kingdom Animalia is a fundamental topic in FSC Biology and essential for MDCAT and entry test preparation. Animals are multicellular, eukaryotic, and heterotrophic organisms that rely on other organisms for food. They exhibit a wide range of complex structures, organ systems, and modes of locomotion to adapt to diverse environments. Kingdom Animalia is classified into…

Kingdom Plantae is a vital topic in FSC Biology and crucial for MDCAT and entry test preparation. Plants are multicellular, eukaryotic, and autotrophic organisms that perform photosynthesis using chlorophyll to produce their own food. They have specialized structures like roots, stems, leaves, and vascular tissues to transport water, minerals, and nutrients. Kingdom Plantae is classified…

Kingdom Fungi is an important topic in FSC Biology and highly relevant for MDCAT and entry test preparation. Fungi are eukaryotic, mostly multicellular organisms (except yeasts, which are unicellular) that lack chlorophyll and obtain nutrition heterotrophically by absorbing organic matter from their surroundings. They play crucial roles in nature as decomposers, recycling nutrients, and some…

Kingdom Protista is a key topic in FSC Biology and important for MDCAT and entry test preparation. Protists are mostly unicellular eukaryotic organisms, though some are multicellular, and they possess a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. This kingdom includes algae, protozoa, and slime molds, exhibiting diverse modes of nutrition—autotrophic, heterotrophic, or mixotrophic—and various types of…

Kingdom Prokaryotae is an essential topic in FSC Biology and a key part of MDCAT and entry test preparation. Organisms in this kingdom, called prokaryotes, are unicellular and lack a true nucleus and membrane-bound organelles. Their genetic material is present as a single circular DNA molecule, and they reproduce mainly through binary fission. Prokaryotes include…

Biodiversity | Variety of Life is a fundamental topic in FSC Biology and crucial for MDCAT and other entry test preparation. Biodiversity refers to the variety of life on Earth, encompassing the differences among species, their genes, and ecosystems. It includes species diversity, genetic diversity, and ecosystem diversity, all of which are essential for ecological…

Enzymes (Class 11 Biology) is a high-scoring chapter for FSC pre-medical board exams and entry tests like MDCAT. Enzymes are biological catalysts, mainly proteins, that speed up biochemical reactions in living cells without being consumed. This chapter covers properties of enzymes, mechanism of action (lock and key & induced fit models), specificity, activation energy, and…

Biology Chapter 1 (Class 11) “Introduction to Biology” and Major Fields of Specialization form the foundation for both FSC pre-medical board exams and entry tests like MDCAT. This chapter introduces biology as the study of life and living organisms, covering their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, and interactions with the environment. A clear understanding of…
