CBSE Class 11 Biology Syllabus 2025-26

 

The CBSE Class 11 Biology Syllabus 2025-26 will provide students a deeper understanding of the life sciences which is essential for their education and scientific research. The course follows the "Jeev Vigyan" textbook and covers important topics such as diversity, cell structure and function, human physiology, plant physiology and biomolecules.  CBSE Class 11 Biology Syllabus has been designed to improve students’ analytical thinking, observation skills and ideological clarity. The syllabus provides great emphasis on both theoretical knowledge and practical knowledge and also encourages students to observe biological systems through experiments, diagrams and case studies. Inclusion of local examples and thematically grouped units ensures students develop interests and understanding for biology and its applications in daily life. The CBSE syllabusClass 11 Biology provides a strong foundation for the students and prepares them for the board exams and also future competitive examinations in the field of medical and life sciences.

Learning Outcomes from CBSE Syllabus Class 11 Biology 2025-26

• Understand biodiversity by examining the morphology of plants, animals and microorganisms and classifying them by morphology and evolutionary relationships.
• Describe the composition and function of cells, including and biomolecule, historische, cell organelle and cell division (mitosis and paramilitary processes) and in share.
• Describe the plant physiology, including the subjects such as photosynthesis, respiratory, water movement and nutrient transport in plants.
• Analyze human physiology including digestion, communication, respiratory, emission and functioning of the nervous system.
• Analyze the structural organization of animals and plants, understand the nature of tissues, and understand the physical structure and functions of many organs.
• Use scientific terminology and techniques to analyze biological diagrams and datasets to create an understanding of sophisticated biological phenomena.
• Develop scientific thinking and experimental skills through laboratory functions, practical comments and investigative activities in biology.
