Example exam questions for an intro biology lecture

Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?The mitochondrion. Oxidative phosphorylation in its inner membrane generates most of the cell's ATP.

True or false: mitosis produces four genetically distinct daughter cells.False. Mitosis produces two genetically identical daughter cells; four distinct cells come from meiosis.

Which base pairs with adenine in DNA?Thymine. A and T form two hydrogen bonds, which is what keeps the double helix stable.

Which molecule carries high-energy electrons from glycolysis to the electron transport chain?NADH. It is reduced during glycolysis and then gives up its electrons to the chain to drive ATP production.

Why does the sodium-potassium pump require ATP?It moves 3 sodium ions out and 2 potassium ions in against their concentration gradients, which takes energy.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should an exam on one lecture deck include?

There is no fixed rule, so match the count to the time students will have. Check that the set covers each major topic on the slides rather than chasing a total number.

How do I write good multiple-choice distractors?

Base each wrong option on a common misconception from the same topic, and keep all options about the same length. Avoid answers like all of the above, which give away the correct choice.

Can I export the exam to Moodle or another learning management system?

Moodle XML and QTI 2.1 export are included on the Pro plan. PDF and DOCX export are included on Plus, and both are paid features.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 5 generations a week and studying in the browser, with no exports. No credit card is needed to start, and students get 40% off with a school email.
