practice VCE Year 11 Biology practice questions Cell membranes hard cell transport diagram

1. A red blood cell is placed in a hypotonic solution. The membrane model shows water moving through the cell membrane. What is the most likely immediate effect?

VCE 11 membrane transport model outside cell water
Choices
  • Water moves into the cell by osmosis.
  • Protein is made at the membrane.
  • Water moves out by active transport.
  • The membrane stops all water movement.
Explanation:

A hypotonic solution has a lower solute concentration outside the cell, so water moves into the cell by osmosis.

practice VCE Year 11 Biology practice questions Enzymes hard enzyme graph

2. The enzyme-rate graph peaks at pH 7 and is lower at pH 4 and pH 10. Which condition gives the highest enzyme activity?

VCE 11 enzyme pH graph pH 4 pH 7 rate
Choices
  • pH 7
  • pH 4
  • pH 10
  • All pH values are equal
Explanation:

The peak of the graph shows the optimum condition for this enzyme, so the highest activity is at pH 7.

practice VCE Year 11 Biology practice questions Ecosystem energy hard ecosystem pyramid

3. An energy pyramid shows 5000 kJ in producers and a 10% transfer to the next trophic level. How much energy is available to primary consumers?

VCE 11 ecosystem energy pyramid 5000 500 10%
Choices
  • 500 kJ
  • 50 kJ
  • 4500 kJ
  • 5000 kJ
Explanation:

About 10% of energy transfers to the next trophic level, so 10% of 5000 kJ is 500 kJ.

practice VCE Year 11 Biology practice questions Population models hard population graph

4. A population graph rises quickly and then levels off near 120 individuals. What does the plateau most likely represent?

VCE 11 logistic population graph time 120 K
Choices
  • The carrying capacity is about 120.
  • The population is extinct.
  • Birth rate is always zero.
  • Resources are unlimited.
Explanation:

A logistic population graph levels off near the carrying capacity when limiting factors balance population growth.

practice VCE Year 11 Biology practice questions Cell cycle hard cell-cycle diagram

5. The cell-cycle diagram highlights the stage before mitosis. What must occur before one cell divides into two genetically identical cells?

VCE 11 cell-cycle checkpoint G1 S mitosis
Choices
  • DNA is replicated.
  • Chromosomes are destroyed.
  • Gametes are fertilised.
  • The membrane becomes a cell wall.
Explanation:

DNA must be copied before mitosis so each daughter cell can receive the same genetic information.

practice VCE Year 11 Biology practice questions Adaptation and selection hard selection graph

6. A graph shows the dark moth phenotype rising from 25% to 70% over several generations in a polluted habitat. Which explanation is best supported?

VCE 11 phenotype frequency graph Gen 1 Gen 6 dark %
Choices
  • Dark moths had a survival advantage.
  • All light moths changed colour.
  • The habitat caused every mutation.
  • No selection occurred.
Explanation:

The increase in dark phenotype frequency suggests individuals with that phenotype survived and reproduced more successfully in that environment.

For parents checking senior maths readiness

Year 10 practice can help identify whether a student is comfortable with algebra, geometry, trigonometry, statistics, and probability before choosing senior maths pathways. The demo is a quick way to sample those areas without creating an account.
