Free Science Practice Questions With Answers

Try these learning examples. Open “Show answer & explanation” to check your answer.

Question 1

A student compares plant growth under two light conditions. Which factor should be kept the same to make the comparison fair?

  1. The light condition being tested
  2. The amount of water each plant receives
  3. The final height of every plant
  4. The growth rate measured at the end
Show answer & explanation

Answer: The amount of water each plant receives

Why: Water is a controlled variable in this comparison. Keeping it the same helps isolate the effect of the light condition. Final height and growth rate are outcomes, not factors to force to be equal.

Question 2

Which structure forms a selectively permeable boundary around a typical animal cell?

  1. Cell membrane
  2. Cell wall
  3. Chromosome
  4. Ribosome
Show answer & explanation

Answer: Cell membrane

Why: The cell membrane regulates movement of substances into and out of the cell. Animal cells do not have cell walls; chromosomes carry genetic information and ribosomes make proteins.

Question 3

An atom gains one electron without changing its number of protons. What happens to its electric charge?

  1. It becomes one unit more positive
  2. It becomes one unit more negative
  3. Its charge cannot change
  4. Its proton number doubles
Show answer & explanation

Answer: It becomes one unit more negative

Why: Electrons carry negative charge. Gaining one electron makes the net charge one unit more negative while leaving the proton number unchanged.
