Plant Kingdom NEET Question and Answers PDF Download

These Plant Kingdom NEET Question and Answers cover the all-important topic of plants and are targeted, ideally, at those preparing for NEET and AIIMS. The plant kingdom is a very broad category that consists of plants, fungi, and bacteria. Plants are multicellular organisms that have separate male and female sex organs. They can make their own food through photosynthesis and use groundwater for their hydration. They also undergo mitosis which is the process of cell division to form new cells and daughter cells.

The Plant Kingdom is really the broadest category of organisms, including all land plants (including seaweed and ferns) and all green algae. There are millions and millions of species, with different levels of complexity. Most of them have only rudimentary ‘brain-like’ control and some are single-cell organisms (eukaryotes), while others have complex mechanisms and include trees, flowers, mushrooms, and insects, as well as humans.
