Why build your own A2 biology flashcards

Ready-made A2 biology flashcards cover the general syllabus, but the terms your exam board tests and the diagrams your teacher drew in class matter most. Making your own set from those materials keeps revision tied to the course you are actually sitting.

Cards built from your own specification notes and slides
Photos of textbook pages read with text recognition
Spaced repetition that focuses on the cards you miss
Free plan includes 3 generations per month with browser study

Example A2 biology flashcards on photosynthesis and respiration

Where do the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis take place?In the thylakoid membranes of the chloroplast, where light energy splits water and produces ATP and reduced NADP.

Where does the Calvin cycle take place and what does it use from the light-dependent reactions?In the chloroplast stroma, using ATP and reduced NADP to fix carbon dioxide into triose phosphate.

What is the approximate net yield of ATP from one glucose molecule in aerobic respiration?About 30 to 32 ATP, depending on how reduced NAD and FAD from glycolysis and the link reaction enter the mitochondria.

What is the function of the myelin sheath on a neurone?It insulates the axon and speeds impulse transmission by saltatory conduction between the nodes of Ranvier.

What does the Hardy-Weinberg equation state about allele frequencies?That p squared plus 2pq plus q squared equals 1, where p and q are allele frequencies, assuming no selection, mutation, migration or drift.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for A2 biology?

Aim for one card per key term, process or definition in each topic, then split longer topics such as respiration or photosynthesis into several cards. Keep each card to a single idea so you can answer it quickly.

What is a good way to revise a process like the Krebs cycle?

Write the stages in order on one side of the card and the inputs, outputs and enzyme names on the other, then redraw the cycle from memory. Spaced repetition helps the stages stick over the weeks before your exams.

Can I export my A2 biology flashcards?

Exports to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV are part of the paid Plus plan. The free plan lets you study generated flashcards in the browser.

Can I make flashcards from photos of my textbook?

Yes, images of pages are read with text recognition, so you can photograph a section and generate flashcards from it. Check the cards against the original page before relying on them.
