Photosynthesis in Higher Plants

How green plants make food - one of the highest-yield NEET chapters (3-4 questions/year). It covers the early experiments, the site (chloroplast) and the photosynthetic pigments and spectra; the light reaction (photosystems, the Z-scheme, photolysis of water and cyclic vs non-cyclic photophosphorylation with the chemiosmotic hypothesis); the Calvin (C3) cycle and its stoichiometry; the C4 pathway and Kranz anatomy; photorespiration; and the factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis. Six graded practice sets - two Easy, two Medium, one Hard and one NEET previous-year set - each opening with comprehensive NCERT-anchored notes covering 100% of the current syllabus, followed by single-correct MCQs with full explanations.
