Eamcet, Botany

In the series of EAMCET model papers the third and concluding part of the First year includes Units V, VI & VII. In Unit V Cytology, Biomolecules and Cell Division are included. For EAMCET point of view at least four questions are possible from this unit.

Some problems on DNA structure can be asked from biomolecules. Similar kind of problems is also possible from Molecular biology of second year. To his convenience student can practice few model questions either revising first year or second year syllabus.

As, a chapter on biomolecules, is new to our syllabus it is better practice some questions from this chapter. Chemistry subject also have a chapter on Biomolecules. For long term students this chapter and entire units V & VI needs thorough study as concepts are very vague. Unit-VI is on Anatomy and Unit- VII is on Ecology. Here are some model questions from these chapters
