Example cell biology quiz questions (sample topic)

Which organelle produces most of a eukaryotic cell's ATP?The mitochondrion. It carries out aerobic respiration, which generates most of the ATP the cell uses.

True or false: plant cells lack a cell membrane.False. Every cell is bounded by a plasma membrane, and plant cells also have a cell wall outside it.

What is the main function of the plant cell wall?Structural support and protection. Its rigid cellulose framework keeps the cell from bursting when it takes in water.

Where do the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place?On the thylakoid membranes inside the chloroplast. Light energy is captured there to make ATP and NADPH.

Why does a plant cell placed in pure water tend to swell?Water moves in by osmosis because the cytoplasm has a higher solute concentration than the surrounding water.

Multiple-choice, true/false and short answer

Pick the question type that fits what you are studying, and each question comes with an explanation of the answer.

Built from your own material

Upload PDFs, PPTX slides, DOCX files, plain notes or photos of pages, and the questions come from what you actually have.

Study in the browser or export

Practice on the free plan in the browser. Paid plans export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, and Pro adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slides, a DOCX, a text file or a photo of a page. Photos are read with text recognition.

Choose the question types

Select multiple-choice, true/false or short answer questions, and the number you want to practice.

Practice and review

Answer the quiz, read the explanations for each question, and return to missed items until they stick.

Each generated question includes an explanation, so a wrong answer becomes a short lesson instead of just a score. Mixing multiple-choice, true/false and short answer questions tests recognition and recall in the same session.

When you are ready to share or move questions into another system, paid plans export to PDF, DOCX and Anki, and the Pro plan adds QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML for learning management systems.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a practice quiz on cell biology include?

Ten to twenty questions is a good range for a single chapter, with a mix of multiple-choice and true/false items. Short answer questions are useful once you can recall the basics.

What makes a good quiz question for studying biology?

A good question tests one idea and asks you to apply it, such as predicting what happens when a cell is placed in salt water. Explanations matter most, because they show why the correct answer is right.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, but it does not include exports.

Which formats can I export my quizzes to?

Plus, at $39 per year or $7.99 per month, exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. Pro, at $14.99 per month, also exports QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.
