An explanation for every answer so you can review the key before the test

Plus exports to PDF or DOCX for printing, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML

Example biology questions for a written test

Which organelle is the site of aerobic respiration in eukaryotic cells?Mitochondria. They contain the enzymes of the Krebs cycle and electron transport chain that release energy from glucose.

True or false: plant cell walls are made mainly of cellulose.True. Cellulose fibers give plant cell walls rigidity and support, which animal cells do not have.

Why does a plant cell placed in pure distilled water take in water by osmosis?Its cytoplasm has a higher solute concentration than the water outside, so water moves in across the membrane to balance it.

What is the role of ribosomes in a cell?Ribosomes build proteins by translating mRNA into a chain of amino acids.

Which phase of mitosis separates sister chromatids toward opposite poles?Anaphase. Spindle fibers shorten and pull the chromatids apart.

Frequently asked questions

How far ahead should I start studying for a written test?

Begin reviewing about two weeks before the date and spread short sessions across that time. Answering short-answer questions from memory tends to help more than rereading notes.

What should a written test on a science topic cover?

Focus on key terms, processes and the reasons behind them, not only definitions. Prompts that ask why or how show whether you understand the material.

Can I export my written test to a printable file?

Yes, the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month exports to PDF or DOCX. The free plan has no exports, so you study in the browser instead.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No. You can start on the free plan with 3 generations per month, and students get 40% off with a school email.
