Plant Biology: SSC CGL Biology
Plant Biology has 11 questions in the SSC CGL Tier I bank: one from the 2023 shifts, six from the 2024 shifts and four from the 2025 shifts. They ask a plant's leaf type, what xylem or phloem carries, how stomata open, and which nutrients and hormones do what. One page covers them, with the example plants SSC uses.
The handout has every subtopic, worked example, formula and trap with answers shown. The formula sheet is the chapter’s formulas and traps alone, on one page.
