This Class 11 Biology Chapter 17 Locomotion and Movement NCERT Exemplar Book PDF is the official 2026-27 NCERT Exemplar, checked against the latest edition.

What the Locomotion and Movement Exemplar Covers

The Exemplar tests the same chapter as the textbook but at a higher level of difficulty. Its questions probe the types of movement, the structure of skeletal muscle, the sliding filament theory of contraction, the human skeletal system and the types of joints. Because this chapter ties a molecular contraction mechanism to a full bone count, the Exemplar checks whether students can label a sarcomere, order the steps of a muscle contraction, and place each bone in the axial or appendicular skeleton.

• Types of movement, the types of muscle, and the microscopic structure of a skeletal muscle fibre.
• The sliding filament theory of muscle contraction, with the roles of actin, myosin, calcium and ATP.
• The axial and appendicular skeleton, the types of joints, and disorders such as arthritis, osteoporosis and gout.

Why Practise the Exemplar for This Chapter

The Exemplar bridges the gap between the NCERT textbook and the level of a competitive exam. For locomotion and movement, its questions are close to the style asked in NEET and CUET, where a single detail about a sarcomere band or a joint can decide a mark. Because this chapter carries a molecular mechanism and a set of bone counts, the Exemplar is where students meet the diagram-based questions and assertion-reason sets that a plain reading of the textbook rarely throws up.

• Higher-order questions on the sliding filament theory that the textbook exercises do not cover.
• Assertion-reason sets that sharpen your grip on the sarcomere bands and the types of joints.
• MCQs on the muscle proteins and the skeletal system at exam level.

How to Use the Exemplar for Locomotion and Movement

Attempt the Exemplar only after you have finished the NCERT textbook chapter and its back exercises. Treat it as your second, harder pass over the chapter. Because much of this chapter is a molecular mechanism and a set of bone counts, students gain the most by drawing a labelled sarcomere and writing out the steps of contraction rather than only marking the option, so the mechanism stays fixed in memory for the exam.

• Solve the MCQs first to test recall of proteins and bones, then move to assertion-reason.
• Attempt each short and long answer fully before checking the Exemplar Solutions.
• Sketch a labelled sarcomere and note how the bands change during contraction.
• Mark the questions you got wrong and redo them after two days.

Other Class 11 Biology Locomotion and Movement Resources

Use the Exemplar with the textbook PDF, the solved answers, the formula sheet and the revision notes for the same chapter. Working across all resources gives students the definitions, the practice and the higher-order questions they need for both the CBSE board exam and NEET.

Student Feedback on the Locomotion and Movement Exemplar

More than 10,000 Class 11 students used these Collegedunia NCERT resources during the 2026 boards and NEET preparation. Their feedback shaped how we present this chapter, and the message on Chapter 17 was consistent: the Exemplar is what turns the sarcomere diagram and the bone list into exam-ready recall.

• Students rated the questions on the sliding filament theory as the most useful part for NEET.
• Many said the Exemplar MCQs on the sarcomere bands matched the board and NEET questions they later saw.
• Students preparing for CUET found the short-answer terms a fast way to revise the whole chapter.
