Example cell biology flashcards (sample topic)
Which organelle produces most of a cell's ATP?The mitochondrion, through cellular respiration. It is where the electron transport chain makes most ATP.
What is the function of ribosomes?They synthesize proteins by translating mRNA into a chain of amino acids.
What is osmosis?The net movement of water across a semipermeable membrane toward the side with higher solute concentration.
What role does the cell membrane play?It controls which substances enter and leave the cell, because its phospholipid bilayer is selectively permeable.
Where does glycolysis take place?In the cytoplasm, where glucose is broken down into two molecules of pyruvate.

Works with the files you already have

Upload PDF, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or images. Photos of pages are read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards come back at the intervals that help you remember them, so you spend less time rereading and more time recalling.

Export when you need to

Plus and Pro plans export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV, and pro users can also export QTI 2.1 and Moodle XML.

How it works

Upload your material

Add a PDF, slide deck, set of notes or a photo of a textbook page.

Generate flashcards

The AI pulls out key terms and ideas and turns them into front-and-back cards.

Review and study

Study in the browser on the free plan, and let spaced repetition schedule your reviews.

Each card keeps the question on the front and the answer on the back, so you can test yourself before you flip. Edit any card that misses the point of your source.

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later, so each study session targets what you are most likely to forget.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for one lecture?

Start with the main terms, definitions and cause-and-effect ideas from the lecture, which usually lands between 20 and 40 cards. Trim any card you can already answer without thinking.

How often should I review flashcards with spaced repetition?

Review daily in short sessions rather than cramming once a week. Spaced repetition spaces out cards you find hard and shows easy ones less often.

Can I export my flashcards?

Yes, on the Plus and Pro plans you can export to PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan to try it?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and no credit card is needed to start. Students get 40% off paid plans with a school email.
