A.Six tasks are presented and all six must be answered
B.Three tasks are presented and two must be answered
C.Four tasks are presented and three must be answered
D.Two tasks are presented and both must be answered
Explanation: The 2026 Berlin Leistungskurs paper presents four inhaltlich zusammenhängende Aufgaben, of which the candidate must complete three. Each task is kontextorientiert and materialgebunden, structured in several Teilaufgaben.
2What is the total Arbeitszeit for the 2026 Berlin Leistungskurs Biology written Abitur, and what does it include?
A.255 minutes of pure writing time
B.300 minutes, including an individual 30-minute Lese- und Auswahlzeit
C.315 minutes with no reading time included
D.360 minutes split across two consecutive days
Explanation: The Prüfungsschwerpunkte Biologie 2026 LK set the Arbeitszeit at 300 Minuten, which explicitly includes an individual reading and task-selection period of 30 minutes. The choice of three tasks may be made or changed up to the end of the regular working time.
3Which Hilfsmittel are officially permitted in the 2026 Berlin Leistungskurs Biology Abitur?
A.A biology textbook and a formula sheet
B.Any personal notes collected during the Qualifikationsphase
C.A graphical calculator with CAS and an encyclopedia
D.An up-to-date German spelling dictionary (Nachschlagewerk der deutschen Rechtschreibung) and the calculator introduced in class
Explanation: The Prüfungsschwerpunkte 2026 allow exactly two aids: an aktuelles Nachschlagewerk der deutschen Rechtschreibung and the im Unterricht eingeführte Taschenrechner. No subject-specific reference books, notes, or CAS devices are permitted.
4The 2026 Berlin Biology Abitur tasks are drawn from the Inhaltsbereiche of the KMK Bildungsstandards (BiStas AHR). Which set correctly names these four content areas?
A.Leben und Energie; Informationsverarbeitung in Lebewesen; Lebewesen in ihrer Umwelt; Vielfalt des Lebens
B.Anatomie; Physiologie; Genetik; Verhaltensbiologie
C.Zellbiologie; Botanik; Zoologie; Mikrobiologie
D.Stoffwechsel; Reproduktion; Taxonomie; Embryologie
Explanation: The Bildungsstandards der KMK für die Allgemeine Hochschulreife (Beschluss 18.06.2020) define four Inhaltsbereiche: Leben und Energie, Informationsverarbeitung in Lebewesen, Lebewesen in ihrer Umwelt, and Vielfalt des Lebens. The Prüfungsschwerpunkte 2026 state that every task names its associated Inhaltsbereich.
5Who decides which three of the four Aufgaben are completed in the 2026 Berlin LK Biology Abitur?
A.The subject teacher selects three tasks in advance for each student
B.The school's biology department votes on a fixed selection for the whole course
C.The Prüfling alone chooses; the teacher makes no selection of Abituraufgaben
D.SenBJF assigns different task combinations to different schools
Explanation: The Prüfungsschwerpunkte 2026 state explicitly: Die Auswahl obliegt ausschließlich dem Prüfling. Die Lehrkraft trifft keine Auswahl von Abituraufgaben. The supervising teacher must only ensure the choice is unambiguously marked at submission.
6How do the Berlin 2026 Biology tasks relate to the Kurshalbjahre (Q1–Q4) of the Qualifikationsphase?
A.Each task covers exactly one Kurshalbjahr and no overlap is allowed
B.Each Prüfungsaufgabe draws on at least three of the four Kurshalbjahre, with each task predominantly assigned to one Kurshalbjahr
C.Only the final two Kurshalbjahre (Q3 and Q4) are examinable
D.Tasks are deliberately decoupled from the Rahmenlehrplan course sequence
Explanation: Per the Prüfungsschwerpunkte 2026, every Prüfungsaufgabe refers to at least three of the Kurshalbjahre anchored in the Rahmenlehrplan (Fachteil C Biologie), while each task's inhaltlicher Schwerpunkt belongs predominantly to one Kurshalbjahr. The paper is composed so that any selection of three tasks covers at least two of the BiStas AHR Inhaltsbereiche in depth.
7Under the Berlin 2026 Biology Bewertungsgesichtspunkte, how are wrong intermediate results (Fehlerfortsetzung) treated in multi-step tasks?
A.The whole Teilaufgabe automatically receives zero Bewertungseinheiten
B.Half of the available Bewertungseinheiten are always deducted
C.The student must repeat the Teilaufgabe during the exam
D.Correctly executed subsequent steps still earn the prescribed Bewertungseinheiten, unless the error substantially simplified those steps
Explanation: The Prüfungsschwerpunkte 2026 provide that correctly performed Teilschritte that build on wrong intermediate results still receive the vorgegebene Anzahl der Bewertungseinheiten, except where the earlier error made the later steps substantially easier. Only whole Bewertungseinheiten may be awarded.
8Which statement about ATP correctly describes its role as the universal energy carrier of the cell?
A.ATP stores energy in its nitrogenous base adenine, which is oxidised to release energy
B.Hydrolysis of the terminal phosphate bond of ATP releases energy that can be coupled to endergonic processes, regenerating ADP + Pi
C.ATP is consumed permanently in each reaction and cannot be regenerated
D.ATP is used only in mitochondria and plays no role in the cytoplasm
Explanation: ATP (adenosine triphosphate) releases usable energy when its terminal phosphate group is hydrolysed to ADP and inorganic phosphate; this exergonic reaction is coupled to endergonic processes such as biosynthesis, transport, and movement. ATP is continuously regenerated, mainly by cellular respiration and photosynthesis, and functions in all cell compartments.
9How do enzymes accelerate metabolic reactions?
A.They raise the temperature of the reaction mixture locally
B.They shift the chemical equilibrium towards the products
C.They lower the activation energy and emerge from the reaction unchanged
D.They supply additional energy by being hydrolysed during catalysis
Explanation: Enzymes are biological catalysts (mostly proteins) that lower the Aktivierungsenergie of a reaction by stabilising the transition state in their active centre. They are not consumed and do not change the equilibrium position — only the rate at which equilibrium is reached.
10Where exactly in the plant cell do the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place?
A.On the thylakoid membranes (grana) of the chloroplasts
B.In the stroma of the chloroplasts
C.On the inner mitochondrial membrane
D.In the cytosol of mesophyll cells
Explanation: The Lichtreaktionen — photolysis of water, electron transport, and photophosphorylation — occur at the thylakoid membranes, where the photosystems, electron transport chain, and ATP synthase are embedded. The stroma hosts the Calvin cycle, the light-independent reactions.

About the Berlin Abitur Biology LK Exam

Berlin Biologie Leistungskurs is the advanced-course written Abitur Biology assessment administered by SenBJF. Official preparation documents for 2026 rest on the Rahmenlehrplan gymnasiale Oberstufe Teil C Biologie (2021) and the KMK Bildungsstandards for the Allgemeine Hochschulreife in Biology (decision of 18.06.2020). Qualifikationsphase themes are binding across Q1 (cellular metabolism and information processing), Q2 (organisms in their environment), Q3 (molecular genetic foundations), and Q4 (diversity and evolution of life). The real paper is German, material-based, and constructed-response. This free English MCQ bank trains concept recognition, quantitative reasoning, experimental logic, and Basiskonzept linking before students practise full official-style Aufgaben.

Exam sponsor: Senatsverwaltung für Bildung, Jugend und Familie (SenBJF), Land Berlin. The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Assessment

Berlin Abitur Biology LK: Suggested Study Strategy

1Drill all four RLP Kurshalbjahre (Q1–Q4); Berlin papers span at least three of them, so weak ecology or evolution is a strategic risk.
2Practise material-based skills: read figures/tables first, identify the Inhaltsbereich, then plan Teilaufgaben with official operators.
3Use the 30-minute Lese- und Auswahlzeit to compare all four Aufgaben before committing—and remember you may revise the choice until the end.
4Link mechanisms to Basiskonzepte (Struktur und Funktion; Stoff- und Energieumwandlung; Information und Kommunikation; Steuerung und Regelung; individuelle und evolutive Entwicklung).
5After MCQ concept work, write timed German Teilaufgaben from past Schwerpunkte-aligned materials; MCQs alone cannot replace constructed-response stamina.
