IGCSE Biology Revision Quiz Macromolecules and Movement Into and Out of Cells

This document is a biology revision quiz covering topics related to biological molecules, cell transport mechanisms, and enzymes. It contains 6 multiple choice and short answer questions testing understanding of: 1) the differences between diffusion and active transport, 2) the definition of osmosis, 3) why single-celled organisms don't need a circulatory system, 4) matching macromolecules to their building blocks, 5) identifying foods and food tests, and 6) interpreting a graph on the effect of temperature on an enzyme and explaining the results.
