Biology Mock Revision Questions
1. A man-fluid is produced in?
A) Epididymis
B) Seminiferous tubules
C) Vulva
D) Testes
The Correct Answer is Seminiferous tubules
Explanation:
A man fluid is produced by spermatogenesis within the seminiferous tubules. A transverse section of a seminiferous tubule shows that it is packed with cells in various stages of development. Interspersed with these cells, there are large cells that extend from the periphery of the tubule to the lumen. Once the fluid has matured, it is transported through the long seminiferous tubules and stored in the epididymis of the testes until it is ready to leave the male body.
2. What does the wiggling of the lizard head mean?
A) For respiration
B) Territorial defence
C) For excretion
D) Securing its mates
The Correct Answer Territorial defence
Explanation:
Lizards have a variety of defensive strategies. Many lizards defend certain areas against intruders of the same or closely related species by wiggling their heads to establish their territory.
3. Which of the following is evidence of evolution?
A) Behaviour
B) Size
C) Embryology
D) Colour
Explanation:
Embryology is the study of the formation and development of an embryo and fetus. Embryos of organisms that have a closer genetic relationship to one another tend to look similar for a longer period of time since they share a more recent common ancestor. Thus, embryology is frequently used as evidence of the theory of evolution and the radiation of species from a common ancestor.
4. What does it mean when an animal has a white coloured ventral surface and dark coloured dorsal surface.
A) Counter shading
B) Adaptive colouration
C) Warning colouration
D) Behavioural colouration
Explanation:
Countershading is a type of coloration commonly found in animals and means that the animal’s back (dorsal side) is dark while its underside (ventral side) is light. This shading helps an animal blend in with its surroundings.
5. O in the blood group acts as an
A) Universal donor
B) Universal recipient
C) Agglutins
D) Antibodies
Explanation:
An individual with an ‘O’ blood group is considered as ‘universal donor’ because such an individual can donate blood to a person having any other blood group due to the lack of certain antigens on their blood cells.
6. Which of the following is a primary consumer
A) Dog
B) Cow
C) Green grass
D) Vulture
Explanation:
A primary consumer is an organism that feeds on primary producers. Organisms of this type make up the second trophic level and are consumed or predated by secondary consumers, tertiary consumers or apex predators. Primary consumers are usually herbivores that feed on autotrophic plants, which produce their own food through photosynthesis. Ruminants such as cows, sheep, deer, giraffes and goats are herbivore primary consumers, which graze or browse on plant material like grasses, herbs, leaves and twigs

They are located in the ankles, wrist, and spine.
9. Which of these is a carnivorous plant
A) Pitcher plant
B) Algae
C) Dodder
D) Fungi
Explanation:
Carnivorous plants are plants that derive some or most of their nutrients from trapping and consuming animals or protozoans, typically insects and other arthropods. Carnivorous plants still generate some of their energy from photosynthesis. List of carnivorous plants are; Aldrovanda, Brocchinia, Byblis, Catopsis, Cephalotus, Darlingtonia, Dionaea, Drosera, Sarracenia, the Pitcher Plants.
10. Which of the is not an abiotic factor
A) Temperature
B) Rainfall
C) Forest
D) Light
The Correct Answer Forest
Explanation:
An abiotic factor is a non-living part of an ecosystem that shapes its environment. In a terrestrial ecosystem, examples might include temperature, light, and water. In a marine ecosystem, abiotic factors would include salinity and ocean currents. Abiotic and biotic factors work together to create a unique ecosystem. Five common abiotic factors are atmosphere, chemical elements, sunlight/temperature, wind and rainfall.

Chemistry Mock Revision Questions
1. Effect of water fertilizer and insecticide in water bodies
A) Increases water oxygen level
B) Reduces oxygen level in the water
C) Insecticide and fertilizer dissolve fast
The Correct Answer is Reduces oxygen level in the water
Explanation:
When manure or commercial fertilizers enter surface water, the nutrients they release stimulate microorganism growth. The growth and reproduction of microorganisms reduce the dissolved oxygen content of the water body. Without sufficient dissolved oxygen in surface water, fish and other aquatic species suffocate.
2. Solubility of gas is differently proportional to
A) Volume
B) Temperature
C) Pressure
D) Temperature and pressure
The Correct Answer is Pressure
Explanation:
The solubility is a measure of the concentration of the dissolved gas particles in the liquid and is a function of the gas pressure. As you increase the pressure of a gas, the collision frequency increases and thus the solubility goes up, as you decrease the pressure, the solubility goes down. Therefore, the solubility of a gas in a solvent is directly proportional to the pressure of the gas.
3. The colourless gas produced due to the action of calcium carbonate on cold water is

F = Faraday constant
m = mass
mm = molar mass or atomic mass
I = current
t = time
Recall;
Q = It
Q = 0.1F
1F = 96500C
0.1f = x
x = 9650C
Q = 9650C
A³⁺ –> +3
C = +3
F = 96500
(m/27) = Q/CF
m/27 = 9600/(3×96500)
30m = 27
m = 27/30
m = 0.9g

Physics Mock Revision Questions
1. If the velocity of a body is v=at, find the dimension of v
The Correct Answer is LT-1
Explanation:
V = at
Dimension of V =?
Acceleration a = V/t
V = (v/t) x t

V = distance/time
V = metre/second
V = LT-¹
V = (LT-¹/T) x T
V = LT-¹
2. When a body of mass 50kg is just about to move, the force acting on the body is 150N. Find the coefficient of static friction g=10ms-²
The Correct Answer is 0.3
Explanation:
W = mg
W = 50 x 10
W = 500N
Fr = frictional force
Fr = Umg
U = Fr/mg
U = Fr/W
U = 150/500
U = 0.3
3. If the length of a string of initial frequency F is reduced by 4, the new frequency is
The Correct Answer is 4f₁
Explanation:
f ∝ 1/L
f₁L₁ = f₂L₂
L₂ = L₁/4
f₁L₁ = (f₂ x L₁)/4
f₁ = (f₂ x L₁)/(4 x L₁)
f₁ = f₂/4
f₂ = 4f₁
Therefore, the new frequency is increased four times the initial frequency.
4. The separation between two bodies is reduced by half, the force of gravity between them is
The Correct Answer is Quadrupled
Explanation:
F = force of gravity
F = (GM₁M₂)/r²
F ∝1/r²
r = distance or separation between the two bodies
F ∝ 1/(r/2)²
F ∝ 1/(r²/4)
F is increased by four which means the force of gravity will be quadrupled.
5. An ice block of mass 0.01kg is heated with a heater of power P , and melts at 0 degrees celsius in one minute, find the power of the heater[latent heat of fusion of ice is=0.000033J/KG]
The Correct Answer is 0.5 x 10-⁸watts
Explanation:
M(ice) = 0.01kg
L(ice) = 0.00003J/kg
t = 1minute
t = 60seconds
P = ML/t
P = (0.01kg x 0.00003J/kg)/60
P = 0.000000005watts
P = 0.5 x 10-⁸watts
6. Find the mass of CU deposited by 0.25A in 60minutes [copper =3.3×10-⁴]
The Correct Answer is 0.297g
Explanation:
M = ZIt
M = mass =?
I = current = 0.25A
t = time = 60 minutes
t = 60 x 60
t = 3600seconds
Z = electrochemical equivalent
Z = 3.3 x 10-⁴
M = 3.3 x 10-⁴ x 0.25 x 3600
M = 0.297g
7. An object is placed 5cm in front of a lens and forms a virtual image at 25cm. Find the power of the lens in dioptres.
The Correct Answer is 16 dioptres.
Explanation:
1/f = 1/u + 1/v
u = 5cm
v = 25cm
Power of lens = 1/f(in metres)
1/f = 1/5 + 1/25
Inage is virtual s. v is negative
1/f = 1/5 – 1/25
f = (5 – 1)/25
1/f = 4/25
f = 25/4cm
f = 25/4×100
f = 1/16
P = 1/f
P = 1/(1/16)
P = 16 dioptres.
8. The force acting on a current-carrying conductor is 60N when the magnetic field intensity is halved and the velocity is tripled. Find the value of the new force.
The Correct Answer is 90N
Explanation:
F₁ = 60N
F₁ = qVBsinθ
60 = qVBsinθ
F₂ = New force =?
B is magnetic fueld intensity
If B is halved = B/2
Velocity is tripled = 3v
F₁= q x (B/2) x 3/2
F₁ = qVB x 3/2
F₂ = 3/2F
F₂ = 3/2 x 60
F₂ = 90N
9. If the half-life of material is 3 days and its initial mass is 15g, find its mass after 18 days
The Correct Answer is 0.1172grams
Explanation:
Given;
n = number of half lives
T = period of decay
t(1/2) = half life
t(1/2) = 3days

T = 18 days
x = m/2ⁿ
n = T/t(1/2)
n = 18/3
n = 6
x = 15/2⁶
x = 15/128
x = 0.1172grams
