Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A student investigated the effect of light intensity on the rate of photosynthesis in Elodea pondweed. The student counted the number of oxygen bubbles produced per minute at different distances from a lamp. Which piece of apparatus would be most suitable for measuring the distance between the lamp and the plant?

  1. thermometer
  2. ruler
  3. measuring cylinder
  4. stopwatch
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: Bruler
Award 1 mark for ruler as this is the correct instrument for measuring distance/length. A is incorrect because a thermometer measures temperature, not distance. C is incorrect because a measuring cylinder measures volume of liquids. D is incorrect because a stopwatch measures time.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

The diagram shows the cross-section of a leaf. Which layer contains the most chloroplasts and is the main site of photosynthesis?

  1. upper epidermis
  2. palisade mesophyll
  3. spongy mesophyll
  4. lower epidermis
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: Bpalisade mesophyll
Award 1 mark for B. The palisade mesophyll is located near the upper surface of the leaf and contains the most chloroplasts, making it the main site of photosynthesis. A is incorrect because the upper epidermis is transparent and typically lacks chloroplasts. C is incorrect because the spongy mesophyll has fewer chloroplasts than the palisade layer. D is incorrect because the lower epidermis has very few or no chloroplasts.

CIE IGCSE Biology: Plant Nutrition FAQ

How many CIE IGCSE Biology questions on Plant Nutrition are there on Kramizo?
Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Plant Nutrition for CIE IGCSE Biology, with new questions added every week. Each question gives you instant feedback and a full examiner-style mark scheme that tells you exactly what would earn marks on a real CIE paper. The questions span the full difficulty range — from straightforward recall (level 1) right up to multi-step reasoning and evaluation (level 3) — so the bank works for first-pass revision and final exam-week stress testing alike.
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 Plant Nutrition 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 Plant Nutrition 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 Plant Nutrition typically tested on CIE IGCSE Biology papers?
Plant Nutrition 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.
