Quizzes built from your Edexcel biology material

Edexcel biology quiz practice works best when the questions match what your class actually taught. Edexcel biology quiz questions generated from your own notes do exactly that: upload the topic sheet, slides or textbook pages and get multiple-choice, true/false or short-answer questions with explanations. DeckOwl does not ship a library of exam-board papers, so the quality depends on the material you give it.

Example Edexcel biology practice questions

Where does aerobic respiration take place in a eukaryotic cell?The mitochondria, because the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation happen there and release most of the ATP.

True or false: enzymes are used up in the reactions they catalyse.False. Enzymes lower the activation energy and are regenerated unchanged, so they can catalyse many more reactions.

What happens to the inside of a neurone during depolarisation?Sodium ions flow in through voltage-gated channels, so the inside becomes less negative, because the membrane is becoming more permeable to sodium.

How do mitosis and meiosis differ in the daughter cells they produce?Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid cells, while meiosis produces four genetically varied haploid cells, because crossing over and independent assortment create variation.

In a monohybrid cross of two heterozygous parents (Aa x Aa), what proportion of offspring are recessive?One quarter, a 3:1 ratio, because each parent passes on the recessive allele with probability one half and both must do so.

Frequently asked questions

How should I use a quiz to revise Edexcel biology topics?

Quiz yourself on one topic at a time, such as cell biology or inheritance, then read the explanation for every wrong answer before moving on. Come back to missed questions a day or two later so the correct answers stick.

Which Edexcel biology topics work best as quiz questions?

Definitions, processes with clear steps such as photosynthesis, and practical method questions suit quizzes well. Calculation topics such as genetic crosses are better practised alongside worked answers.

Does DeckOwl include ready-made Edexcel biology quizzes?

No. Quizzes are generated from the notes, textbook pages or slides you upload, so check the questions against your specification and teacher materials.

Can I export the quiz?

Yes, on paid plans. Plus exports to PDF and DOCX, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML, while the free plan lets you study in the browser with 3 generations per month.
