Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which statement best defines diffusion?

  1. The net movement of particles from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration down a concentration gradient
  2. The movement of particles from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration using energy from respiration
  3. The net movement of particles from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration down a concentration gradient
  4. The movement of water molecules from a region of high water potential to a region of low water potential through a partially permeable membrane
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: AThe net movement of particles from a region of their higher concentration to a region of their lower concentration down a concentration gradient
Award 1 mark for the correct definition. D is incorrect — this describes osmosis, not diffusion. B is incorrect because diffusion does not require energy from respiration; this describes active transport. C is incorrect because diffusion occurs from higher to lower concentration, not lower to higher.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

What is active transport?

  1. Movement of particles down a concentration gradient without energy
  2. Movement of water across a partially permeable membrane
  3. Movement of particles against a concentration gradient using energy from respiration
  4. Movement of large particles by engulfing them
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: CMovement of particles against a concentration gradient using energy from respiration
Award 1 mark. Cells carrying it out contain many mitochondria.

CIE IGCSE Biology: Movement Into and Out of Cells FAQ

Is Kramizo free for CIE IGCSE students preparing for Biology?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Movement Into and Out of Cells practice with other Biology topics or even switch to a totally different CIE subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Movement Into and Out of Cells questions aligned to the official CIE IGCSE Biology syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Biology specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CIE paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from CIE.
How is Movement Into and Out of Cells typically tested on CIE IGCSE Biology papers?
Movement Into and Out of Cells appears across multiple question types on real CIE IGCSE Biology papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
