Example biology quiz questions (cell biology)
Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?The mitochondrion. It runs oxidative phosphorylation, which yields most of the ATP made during aerobic respiration.
True or false: prokaryotic cells have a membrane-bound nucleus.False. Prokaryotes lack a membrane-bound nucleus, so their DNA sits in a region called the nucleoid.
What does the Golgi apparatus do?It modifies, sorts and packages proteins and lipids for transport, receiving many of them from the rough ER.
Why does a cell shrink when placed in a hypertonic solution?The solution has a higher solute concentration outside the cell, so water diffuses out to balance it.
What is the role of ribosomes?They translate mRNA into a polypeptide chain during protein synthesis.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions should a practice quiz have?

Ten to twenty questions per topic is usually enough for a self-test. Short sets are easier to review right after a lecture.

Do multiple-choice questions work better than short answer for studying?

Mixing formats helps. Multiple-choice checks recognition, while short-answer questions make you recall the answer from memory, which is harder but sticks better.

Can I export my quiz to a Word or PDF file?

Yes. PDF and DOCX export are part of the Plus plan, which costs $99.90/year or $9.99/month.

Is there a free plan?

Yes. The free plan gives you 3 generations per month and lets you study in the browser, with no credit card needed to start.
