Botany - Transport in Plants
Practise 29 AIIMS previous year questions on Transport in Plants, compiled from papers spanning 2001 to 2019. Each question is pulled directly from the actual exam paper it appeared in, so you're practising in the exact style and difficulty AIIMS tests.
Transport in Plants has been asked in 14 of the 19 years of AIIMS papers analysed (2001–2019), with 29 questions in all. 55% of them were easy, 24% moderate and 21% tough. Most of its questions came from 2001, with 5 questions that year. In the last three years (2017–2019) it had 8 questions across 5 papers, about 1.6 per paper.
The chapter's 9 topics are not weighted equally: Transpiration (7 questions, 24%), Plasmolysis (5 questions, 17%), and Means of Transport (5 questions, 17%) have been asked the most. Transpiration has produced the most tough questions (2).
