True or false: plant cells have a cell wall made mainly of cellulose.True. The cell wall gives plant cells rigid support, and cellulose is its main structural component.

What is the function of the nucleolus?Ribosomal RNA is made and assembled into ribosome subunits there.

Why does a red blood cell placed in pure water burst?Osmosis moves water into the cell because its interior is more concentrated, and it has no cell wall to resist swelling.

What is the role of the Golgi apparatus?It modifies, sorts and packages proteins and lipids for transport to other organelles or outside the cell.

Questions from your material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain notes or photos of pages, and get questions built from what you actually studied.

Explanations on every answer

Each multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer question comes with an explanation so you learn why an answer is right.

Export for your class platform

Paid plans export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.

How it works

Upload your source

Add a PDF, slides, a document or a photo of your notes. No credit card is needed to start.

Choose a question type

Pick multiple choice, true/false or open questions, then generate a quiz from your material.

Review, study or export

Check the questions, study them in the browser, or export them in the format your class uses.

If you are a teacher, the export options matter more than the game format. Pro supports QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, so a quiz generated from a lecture deck can move into a learning management system without retyping. Students on the free plan can still generate three quizzes a month and study them in the browser.

Students with a school email get 40% off Plus, which adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

Frequently asked questions

How many quiz questions should I write for a biology unit?

A single unit usually works well with 20 to 40 questions covering key terms, processes and relationships. Start with the headings in your notes and aim for a few questions per heading.

What is the best way to study quiz questions?

Answer each question from memory before checking the explanation, then retry the ones you missed after a day or two. Spacing your reviews out makes the answers stick longer.

Can I export my quiz?

Yes, but exports are paid features. PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export are on Plus, and QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are on Pro.

Does DeckOwl run live games with students?

No. DeckOwl creates quizzes you study in the browser or export to other tools, and it does not host live multiplayer sessions.
