Eggzams / IGCSE Biology practice questions

Cambridge IGCSE · 0610

IGCSE Biology practice questions, by topic

Osmosis, enzymes, the nitrogen cycle, genetics — Biology at IGCSE is a lot of distinct ideas that are easy to mix up under pressure. Eggzams drills each topic separately with original questions and an explanation after every answer, so the ideas actually stick apart from each other.

A sample question

IGCSE Biology · 0610
A plant cell is placed in a strong salt solution. What happens to the cell?
In a strong (hypertonic) salt solution, water moves out of the cell by osmosis, causing the cell membrane to pull away from the cell wall — plasmolysis.

Why Biology rewards topic-by-topic drilling

A lot of IGCSE Biology marks are lost not from not knowing the content, but from mixing up similar-sounding processes — diffusion versus osmosis versus active transport, or mitosis versus meiosis. Practising topics in isolation, repeatedly, with an explanation every time, is what actually fixes that kind of confusion. Mixed past papers test everything at once, which is good for exam simulation but bad for initially learning to tell two similar ideas apart.

Eggzams tracks your accuracy per topic with a simple hatching-egg visual, so you know exactly which parts of 0610 are solid and which need another session before the exam.

Covers the full 0610 syllabus

From cell structure and the characteristics of living organisms, through nutrition, transport, respiration and gas exchange, coordination and response, reproduction, inheritance and variation, to ecosystems and human impact on the environment — every section of the current syllabus has its own set of original questions.
