Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

A student in Trinidad placed germinating pigeon pea seeds in a sealed flask with a carbon dioxide indicator. After 24 hours, the indicator changed from red to yellow, showing increased carbon dioxide. Which process caused this change?

  1. Photosynthesis
  2. Aerobic respiration
  3. Transpiration
  4. Osmosis
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: BAerobic respiration
Award 1 mark for identifying that germinating seeds carry out aerobic respiration, releasing carbon dioxide as a waste product. A is incorrect — photosynthesis would decrease carbon dioxide levels and requires light. C is incorrect — transpiration is water loss, not gas exchange. D is incorrect — osmosis involves water movement, not gas production.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Which of the following is the correct word equation for aerobic respiration?

  1. Glucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy
  2. Glucose → Lactic acid + Energy
  3. Glucose → Ethanol + Carbon dioxide + Energy
  4. Carbon dioxide + Water → Glucose + Oxygen
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: AGlucose + Oxygen → Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy
Award 1 mark for the correct word equation showing glucose and oxygen as reactants, and carbon dioxide, water, and energy as products. B is incorrect — this is anaerobic respiration in animals. C is incorrect — this is anaerobic respiration in yeast/plants. D is incorrect — this is the equation for photosynthesis.

Kramizo currently has 20 exam-board-aligned practice questions on Respiration and Gas Exchange for CXC CSEC Human and Social 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 CXC 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 CXC CSEC students preparing for Human and Social 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 Respiration and Gas Exchange practice with other Human and Social Biology topics or even switch to a totally different CXC subject without paying anything.

Are the Respiration and Gas Exchange questions aligned to the official CXC CSEC Human and Social Biology syllabus?
Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Human and Social Biology specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real CXC 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 CXC.
How is Respiration and Gas Exchange typically tested on CXC CSEC Human and Social Biology papers?
Respiration and Gas Exchange appears across multiple question types on real CXC CSEC Human and Social 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.
