        abstract = {This study presents a structured content analysis of Chapter 2, ‘Digestion and Transport of Nutrients,’ from the revised 2024 SCERT Kerala State Syllabus Class 9 Biology textbook. The paper evaluates the depth of technological integration within the curriculum, specifically examining how effectively abstract physiological processes are explicitly linked to technological and societal practices. Using a systematic, multi-domain evaluation framework, the analysis reveals a deliberate transition from purely academic content to functional literacy, though it identifies specific avenues where explicit technological integrations can be further enhanced to bridge classroom science with technological and real-world innovations.},
