NEET Biology – Transport in Plants
Transport in Plants is an important chapter in Class 11 Biology that explains how water, minerals, and food move within plants. It helps students understand the processes responsible for maintaining water balance, supporting growth, and distributing essential nutrients throughout the plant body.
This chapter covers diffusion, osmosis, plasmolysis, water potential, absorption of water by roots, transpiration, and the movement of water through xylem. Students will also learn about phloem translocation, the pressure-flow hypothesis, and the role of transpiration in plant water movement.
For effective NEET Biology preparation, focus on NCERT concepts, important definitions, diagrams, and mechanisms of water and food transport. Practising chapter-wise MCQs and previous-year questions can strengthen conceptual understanding, improve revision, and boost exam performance.
