Sample questions with answers

Try these sample questions with worked explanations.

Biology

1. The negative pressure generated at the leaf surface by evaporation, pulling the water column upwards through xylem, is called:

  1. Suction pressure
  2. Osmotic pressure
  3. Hydrostatic pressure
  4. Tension
Answer and explanation

D. Tension

Transpiration creates tension in the cohesive water column. That negative pressure pulls water upwards from roots to leaves.

Biology

2. The tough membrane that covers the surface of a bone is known as the:

  1. Pericardium
  2. Epiphysis
  3. Periosteum
  4. Endosteum
Answer and explanation

C. Periosteum

The periosteum covers the outside of bones except at articular surfaces and helps with nourishment, growth and repair.

Chemistry

3. The phenomenon of geometric isomerism is possible primarily because:

  1. The sigma bond restricts rotation due to its strength
  2. The pi bond would need to break for rotation to occur
  3. Steric hindrance prevents free rotation
  4. Hydrogen bonding locks the molecule
Answer and explanation

B. The pi bond would need to break for rotation to occur

Rotation around a carbon–carbon double bond would require breaking the pi bond. This restriction allows stable cis and trans arrangements.

Review, then try again

Biology makes up half this paper. Use the answer explanations to separate recall gaps from misunderstood concepts, then revisit your Chemistry and English errors.

After submitting, check your subject results and answer explanations. Revise weak concepts before repeating this fixed paper.
