Total Marks:40

Duration:90 min

Total Questions:28

Difficulty:Mixed

—Master photosynthesis equation: 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ and understand light vs dark reactions
—Know aerobic respiration stages and ATP yield: Glycolysis (2) + Krebs (2) + ETC (34) = 38 ATP
—Clearly understand anaerobic respiration and why it produces only 2 ATP in muscles
—Know difference between xylem (dead, upward) and phloem (living, bidirectional)
—Practice drawing and labeling blood circulation: Pulmonary (to lungs) and Systemic (to body)
—Master kidney function: Ultrafiltration → Selective reabsorption → Tubular secretion → Urine
—Know enzyme specificity and where each digestive enzyme works (mouth, stomach, small intestine)
—Understand blood composition: RBC (oxygen), WBC (immunity), Platelets (clotting), Plasma (transport)

Photosynthesis:

6CO₂ + 6H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Aerobic Respiration:

C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂ → 6CO₂ + 6H₂O + 38 ATP

Anaerobic (Animals):

Glucose → Lactic acid + 2 ATP

ATP Stages:

Glycolysis (2) + Krebs (2) + ETC (34) = 38

Light Reactions:

Thylakoid: Produce ATP, NADPH, O₂

Dark Reactions:

Stroma: Calvin cycle, fix CO₂, make glucose

Xylem Transport:

Water + Minerals, upward, root pressure + transpiration

Phloem Transport:

Glucose, bidirectional, osmotic pressure
