Q: How do I try a free CIE Biology question?

Just tap any of the four options on this page — no signup, no card, nothing to install. You'll see the correct answer and a full mark-scheme-style explanation within a second. Each visit shows a fresh randomly-picked question from the live CIE IGCSE Biology bank, so you can keep refreshing to try different ones before deciding whether to create a free account for daily access.

Q: Is Kramizo really free for CIE Biology students?

Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, across any board and any subject, with no card required and no trial countdown. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds analytics, but the free plan is genuinely free forever. We make money from the small percentage of students who choose to upgrade — not from selling data or ads.

Q: Are the Biology questions aligned to the CIE IGCSE syllabus?

Every question is written against the published CIE IGCSE Biology syllabus and reviewed for accuracy before being added to the bank. We match the command words (state, describe, explain, evaluate), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'll see on real CIE past papers. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes so students learn exactly what marks are being awarded for.

Question

In fish farming, fish are kept in enclosed net cages and fed regularly. Which of the following is a disadvantage of this method compared to wild fishing?

Disease can spread rapidly between fish in high-density conditions — High-density fish farming creates conditions where diseases and parasites spread rapidly through the enclosed population. This is a significant disadvantage and often requires the use of antibiotics or pesticides, which can cause further environmental concerns.
