Sample Belgrade Medicine Entrance Exam Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to review concepts for the Belgrade Medicine Entrance Exam exam. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1According to the fluid mosaic model of biological membranes, what is the primary structural arrangement of lipids in the plasma membrane?
A.A phospholipid bilayer with hydrophilic heads facing aqueous environments and hydrophobic fatty acid tails oriented inward
B.A monolayer of triglycerides interspersed with peripheral glycoproteins
C.A rigid protein matrix embedded with scattered cholesterol and free fatty acid droplets
D.A bilayer of glycolipids with hydrophobic heads facing the extracellular fluid and hydrophilic tails facing the cytosol
Explanation: The plasma membrane has an amphipathic phospholipid bilayer. Its polar heads face the aqueous cytosol and extracellular fluid, while its nonpolar fatty acid tails face inward, away from water.
2The primary active transport mechanism mediated by the Na+/K+-ATPase pump translocates ions across the animal plasma membrane in which stoichiometry and direction per molecule of ATP hydrolyzed?
A.3 Na+ ions out of the cell and 2 K+ ions into the cell
B.2 Na+ ions out of the cell and 3 K+ ions into the cell
C.3 Na+ ions into the cell and 2 K+ ions out of the cell
D.1 Na+ ion out of the cell and 1 K+ ion into the cell
Explanation: Each ATP hydrolyzed drives 3 Na+ ions out and 2 K+ ions in against their electrochemical gradients. This electrogenic pump maintains the ion gradients underlying the resting membrane potential; selective membrane permeability, especially through potassium leak channels, is also essential.
3Which organelle maintains an acidic interior containing hydrolases for intracellular digestion and autophagy?
A.Lysosome
B.Peroxisome
C.Golgi apparatus
D.Smooth endoplasmic reticulum
Explanation: Lysosomes contain acid hydrolases that digest proteins, nucleic acids, and lipids. Their acidic interior supports these enzymes during degradation of endocytosed material and cellular components delivered by autophagy.
4How does the rough endoplasmic reticulum structurally and functionally differ from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum?
A.The rough ER is studded with membrane-bound 80S ribosomes and synthesizes secretory and membrane proteins, whereas the smooth ER lacks ribosomes and synthesizes lipids
B.The rough ER lacks bound ribosomes and mainly synthesizes lipids, whereas the smooth ER bears ribosomes and synthesizes secreted proteins
C.Both rough and smooth ER bear ribosomes, but only smooth ER synthesizes secreted proteins
D.The rough ER bears ribosomes but mainly synthesizes lipids, whereas the smooth ER translates membrane proteins
Explanation: The rough endoplasmic reticulum bears ribosomes on its cytosolic face that translate polypeptides targeted for secretion, lysosomes, or membrane insertion. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum lacks ribosomes and specializes in phospholipid and steroid synthesis, detoxification, and calcium sequestration.
5Which of the following characteristics accurately describes mitochondria in human eukaryotic cells?
A.They possess a double membrane, circular mitochondrial DNA, 55S mitochondrial ribosomes, and normally show maternal inheritance
B.They have a single membrane, linear nuclear chromosomes, and divide synchronously with nuclear mitosis
C.They produce ATP through substrate-level phosphorylation exclusively in their outer membrane
D.They have their own DNA, but every mitochondrial protein is encoded by nuclear genes
Explanation: Human mitochondria have two membranes, circular mitochondrial DNA, and 55S ribosomes, rather than bacterial 70S ribosomes. They synthesize ATP through oxidative phosphorylation at the inner membrane and normally inherit their mitochondrial genome from the mother.
6What are the sedimentation coefficients of the two constituent subunits that assemble into the 80S eukaryotic cytoplasmic ribosome?
A.60S large subunit and 40S small subunit
B.50S large subunit and 30S small subunit
C.50S large subunit and 40S small subunit
D.70S large subunit and 10S small subunit
Explanation: Eukaryotic cytoplasmic ribosomes have an overall sedimentation coefficient of 80S and dissociate into a large 60S subunit and a small 40S subunit. Svedberg units are non-additive because they reflect sedimentation velocity rather than molecular mass.
7Which cytoskeletal filament type is composed of globular actin monomers, measures approximately 7 nm in diameter, and forms the contractile ring during cytokinesis?
A.Microfilaments
B.Microtubules
C.Intermediate filaments
D.Collagen fibrils
Explanation: Microfilaments (actin filaments) are two-stranded helical polymers of G-actin subunits measuring 7 nm in diameter. Together with myosin motor proteins, they drive cell motility, phagocytosis, and the contractile cleavage furrow during animal cytokinesis.
8During which phase of the eukaryotic cell cycle does replication of nuclear DNA take place?
A.S phase
B.G1 phase
C.G2 phase
D.M phase
Explanation: Replication of the nuclear genome occurs during S phase of the cell cycle. Each replicated chromosome then consists of two sister chromatids joined at the centromere until their separation during division.
9During mitotic cell division, in which stage do sister chromatids reach maximum condensation and align along the equatorial plane of the spindle apparatus?
A.Metaphase
B.Prophase
C.Anaphase
D.Telophase
Explanation: At metaphase, condensed chromosomes align at the spindle equator, forming the metaphase plate. Kinetochore microtubules connect sister chromatids to opposite spindle poles before their separation at anaphase.
10During prophase I of meiosis, in which specific substage does genetic crossing over take place between non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes?
A.Pachytene
B.Leptotene
C.Zygotene
D.Diakinesis
Explanation: Pachytene is the prophase I substage associated with crossing over between paired homologous chromosomes. Exchange between non-sister chromatids produces new combinations of alleles, while chiasmata become readily visible at diplotene.

About the Belgrade Medicine Entrance Exam Exam

Both Serbian- and English-program routes assess biology and chemistry, while the English route also includes an interview. Candidates need appropriate completed four-year secondary education, medical fitness, and the documents and language evidence specified in their route's call; certain exemptions and special admission provisions apply.

Exam sponsor: University of Belgrade — Faculty of Medicine (Medicinski fakultet Univerziteta u Beogradu). The requirements and fees below concern the certification or admission exam, separate from our free practice resources.

Belgrade Medicine Entrance Exam: Suggested Study Strategy

1Read the current admission call for your chosen language route and review all subjects in its official literature or topic list, including topics not covered by this bank.
2Work through concentration, stoichiometry, redox, and buffer calculations with units shown at each step.
3Use Serbian scientific terminology when preparing for the Serbian route, and rehearse spoken English and motivation questions for the English interview.
4Use the faculty's recommended CIBID chemistry collection alongside the listed biology textbooks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the official assessment formats and languages?

The Serbian-program route uses biology and chemistry written tests in Serbian, with 30 questions per subject. The English-program route uses English, with 20 four-option, single-answer MCQs per subject followed by a mandatory English interview worth up to 20 points. Neither linked call specifies a separate entrance assignment, practical examination, or case-study component.

How are applicants ranked?

Secondary-school achievement contributes up to 40 points and the entrance assessment up to 60. The minimum entrance threshold is 31/60 and candidates must also rank within the quota. On the English route, the 60 entrance points comprise 40 written-test points and 20 interview points.

Does the entrance assessment test physics?

The 2026 medicine admission calls list biology and chemistry as the written subjects. Physics is not listed as an entrance-test subject.

How long is the test?

The linked 2026 calls do not state the effective working time. Check the faculty's instructions for your route and sitting rather than assuming a three-hour test; interview scheduling is separate on the English route.

What does this practice bank provide?

It provides independent English-language MCQ study for selected biology and chemistry topics at one practice URL. It is not an official translation or full format simulation, does not cover every published subtopic, and does not replace Serbian-language preparation or the English route's interview practice.
