Free sample General Science MCQs (with answers)
1. Roots absorb water from the soil mainly by:
- A. evaporation
- B. osmosis
- C. condensation
- D. gravity
Correct answer: B
Osmosis is water diffusing across a membrane from where it is more concentrated to less — exactly the gradient root cells set up relative to soil water.
2. Diverging lenses are commonly called:
- A. Bifocal lenses
- B. Convex lenses
- C. Cylindrical lenses
- D. Concave lenses
Correct answer: D
Concave lenses diverge light rays.
3. In a food chain, organisms that make their own food using sunlight are called:
- A. Producers
- B. Primary consumers
- C. Decomposers
- D. Predators
Correct answer: A
Green plants (and algae) use sunlight to make food by photosynthesis, so they are the producers every chain starts with.
4. Digestion of food begins in the:
- A. stomach
- B. mouth
- C. small intestine
- D. liver
Correct answer: B
Saliva begins breaking down starch as soon as food is chewed, so the mouth is where digestion starts; the stomach continues it later.
5. Which key do you press to move to the next field or cell in most forms and spreadsheets?
- A. Enter
- B. Shift
- C. Tab
- D. Spacebar
Correct answer: C
The Tab key moves the cursor forward to the next field or cell; Shift+Tab moves it back.
6. Who discovered the cell in 1665?
- A. Gregor Mendel
- B. Robert Hooke
- C. Louis Pasteur
- D. Charles Darwin
Correct answer: B
Robert Hooke discovered cells in 1665 while examining cork under a microscope.
7. The SI unit used to measure force is:
- A. Watt
- B. Newton
- C. Joule
- D. Pascal
Correct answer: B
Force is measured in newtons (N): 1 N = 1 kg·m/s².
8. The gas plants absorb from air for photosynthesis is:
- A. oxygen
- B. nitrogen
- C. carbon dioxide
- D. hydrogen
Correct answer: C
Plants take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen, which is the reverse of what animals do when they breathe.
