Biology Kingdom Monera MCQs Chapter 6 Class 11

Biology Kingdom Monera for Entry Tests and FSC Board Exams

Kingdom Monera is a fundamental chapter in Biology that focuses on prokaryotic organisms, including bacteria and cyanobacteria. This topic is highly important for MDCAT, NUMS, AKU, NUST, UET ECAT, and FSC board exams (First Year). It covers key concepts such as cell structure, modes of nutrition, respiration, reproduction, and classification of monerans, which frequently appear in MCQs and conceptual questions in entry tests.
