NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 7

In chapter 7, Structural Organization in Animals, students learn about the components that make up the structure of the animal body. For example, in a human body, when a group of cells and the intercellular substances combine to perform some particular function, it is termed tissue.

The topics covered in this chapter are,

Animal tissues
Organ and organ systems
Earthworm, cockroaches, and frogs

NCERT Class 11 Biology Chapter 8

Chapter 8 is Cell: Structure and Functions. A cell can be termed as the basic, structural and functional unit of life. The plant cells and the animal cells differ mainly because of the component called "cell wall." The chapter shall help the students know about the cell components, cell theory & overview of cells, prokaryotic cells, and eukaryotic cells.
