Why generate your own AP Biology flash cards

Many AP Biology students want Barron's AP Biology flash cards they can review on the bus or the night before a unit test. A printed deck covers one book's wording, but it cannot follow your teacher's pacing or the examples you covered in class. DeckOwl reads the chapters and notes you already have and turns them into cards you can study in the browser.

  • Vocabulary cards for terms such as enzyme, osmosis, and allele.
  • Process cards for photosynthesis, cellular respiration, and mitosis.
  • Cause-and-effect questions drawn from your chapter summaries.
  • Browser study on the free plan, with Anki export on Plus.
Example AP Biology flash cards from common topics
What is the net ATP yield of glycolysis per glucose molecule?2 ATP net, since 4 are produced and 2 are used, plus 2 NADH, because glycolysis splits one glucose into two pyruvate.
What does the Calvin cycle do?It fixes carbon dioxide into G3P using ATP and NADPH from the light reactions, and the G3P is used to build sugars.
Where does oxidative phosphorylation occur in eukaryotes?On the inner mitochondrial membrane, where the electron transport chain pumps protons that drive ATP synthase.
What does semiconservative DNA replication mean?Each new double helix contains one original strand from the parent molecule and one newly synthesized strand.
How do the outcomes of mitosis and meiosis differ?Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid cells, while meiosis produces four genetically varied haploid cells.

Built from your material

Upload a PDF chapter, DOCX notes, PPTX slides, plain text, or a phone photo of a page read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner, so your review time goes to the topics you are losing.

Study in the browser

The free plan gives you 3 generations a month and browser study. Anki, PDF, DOCX and CSV export are included with Plus.

How it works

Upload your pages

Add a PDF, DOCX, PPTX, notes file, or photo of a textbook page.

Check the cards

Review the generated questions and answers and edit any that miss a detail from your class.

Study on a schedule

Run short spaced repetition sessions each day until the unit terms stick.

Upload a PDF of a chapter, a DOCX of your notes, a PPTX from lecture, or a phone photo of a page. Each card puts a question on the front and the answer on the back, and spaced repetition brings back the ones you miss more often. Exports to Anki and CSV are part of the paid Plus plan, so the free plan is a good way to test how the cards fit your study routine.

Frequently asked questions

How many flash cards should I make for AP Biology?

Aim for about 15 to 25 cards per chapter, focusing on terms, processes, and cause-and-effect questions instead of copying whole paragraphs. Review them in short daily sessions so the schedule can work.

Which topics should AP Biology flash cards cover?

Cover the course units: chemistry of life, cell structure and function, cellular energetics, cell communication and the cell cycle, heredity, gene expression, natural selection, and ecology. Make process cards for topics such as the Calvin cycle and meiosis.

Can I export my flash cards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included with Plus, which costs $99.90 a year or $9.99 a month. The free plan lets you study generated flash cards in the browser with 3 generations per month.

Do I need a credit card to start?

No, you can start on the free plan without a credit card. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
