Building a biology quiz from the material you actually study

Most people searching for a general knowledge biology quiz want to check how much of the subject they really remember, and a generic quiz rarely matches what is in their course. DeckOwl reads your PDF, slides, DOCX file or notes and writes questions with an explanation for each answer, so the quiz covers the terms and ideas you were given.

  • Multiple-choice questions with an explanation for every answer
  • True/false and short answer questions drawn from your own notes
  • Photos of printed pages read with text recognition
  • Export to PDF or DOCX on Plus, and QTI or Moodle XML on Pro

True or false: adults have fewer bones than newborn babies.True. Many bones fuse during growth, so newborns have roughly 270 to 300 bones compared with 206 in adults.
What molecule stores the genetic instructions for building proteins?DNA. The order of its bases encodes the instructions cells use to assemble proteins.
Which kingdom do mushrooms belong to?Fungi. They absorb nutrients from their surroundings and reproduce with spores, and they are more closely related to animals than to plants.
