Q: How do I try a free CXC Integrated Science 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 CXC CSEC Integrated Science 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 CXC Integrated Science 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 Integrated Science questions aligned to the CXC CSEC syllabus?

Every question is written against the published CXC CSEC Integrated Science 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 CXC past papers. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes so students learn exactly what marks are being awarded for.

Question

A farmer in Trinidad noticed that his sugar cane field produced a strong smell of alcohol after flooding. Which type of respiration occurred in the waterlogged roots?

Accepted Answer

Anaerobic respiration — Award 1 mark for identifying that waterlogged conditions lack oxygen, forcing cells to respire anaerobically. A is incorrect because aerobic respiration requires oxygen which is absent in waterlogged soil. C is incorrect because photosynthesis produces glucose, not alcohol. D is incorrect because transpiration is water loss from leaves, not a form of respiration.

Aerobic respiration
