True or false: Photosynthesis releases oxygen as a byproduct.True, because water is split during the light-dependent reactions and the oxygen is released.

How do the daughter cells from mitosis and meiosis differ?Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid cells, while meiosis produces four genetically varied haploid cells used as gametes.

What does homeostasis mean?Maintaining a stable internal environment despite outside changes, such as keeping human body temperature near 37°C.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a back-to-school biology review quiz have?

Most review quizzes work well with 10 to 20 questions, so one study session covers the main topics without running long. Start with the chapters your class covered last spring.

What is the best way to study biology at the start of a new year?

Spend the first sessions on retrieval practice by answering questions from memory, then read the explanation for anything you missed. Spacing those sessions across several days works better than one long cram.

Can I export the quiz to Moodle or QTI?

Yes, but QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML export are part of the Pro plan at $14.99/month. Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are available on Plus, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser, and no credit card is needed to start. Students with a school email get 40% off a paid plan.
