How to build a deck that matches the syllabus

Turning your notes into IB Biology flashcards for Anki usually takes longer than the studying itself, especially across a full two-year course.

Keep each card to one term, process or piece of data.
Write questions that ask you to explain, compare or apply, not just name.
Group cards by subtopic so each deck stays small enough for one review session.
Check cards against past-paper command terms such as describe, explain and evaluate.

Example IB Biology flashcards for Anki

How do mitosis and meiosis differ in the number and type of daughter cells produced?Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid cells, while meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells.

What role does ATP play in cells?ATP stores and transfers energy in a form cells can use right away, releasing energy when it is hydrolyzed to ADP and phosphate.

What is the light-independent stage of photosynthesis called?The Calvin cycle, which takes place in the stroma and uses ATP and NADPH to fix carbon dioxide into sugar.

How does a competitive enzyme inhibitor differ from a non-competitive one?A competitive inhibitor binds the active site and can be outcompeted by more substrate, while a non-competitive inhibitor binds elsewhere and changes the enzyme shape.

What does semi-conservative DNA replication mean?Each new DNA molecule keeps one original strand and gains one newly synthesized strand.

Cards from any source

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages and get flashcards from the material you already have.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards return at the intervals your recall needs, so review time goes to the facts you are most likely to forget.

Anki export on Plus

Send your deck to Anki on Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

How it works

Upload your material

Add your IB Biology notes, slides or a PDF of a topic you are studying.

Review the cards

Check the generated flashcards and remove any that go beyond your course syllabus.

Study and export

Study with spaced repetition in the browser, or export to Anki on Plus.

Cards work best when they follow the course structure: cell biology, molecular biology, genetics, ecology and evolution, and human physiology. Each card should test one term, fact or process so you can check your answer quickly.

Once the deck is ready, spaced repetition brings each card back just before you would be likely to forget it. Plus lets you export the same deck to Anki if you prefer its interface or already use it for other courses.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make for IB Biology topics?

Most students get better results from a deck of about 20 to 40 cards per subtopic, which is small enough to review in one session. Focus on terms, processes and data you must explain rather than every sentence in your notes.

What is the best way to study IB Biology with flashcards?

Try to answer each card aloud before you flip it, since recalling an answer works better than recognizing it. Use past-paper questions to check whether your cards cover what the exam actually asks.

Can I export these flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is included in the Plus plan at $99.90/year or $9.99/month, along with PDF, DOCX and CSV export. The free plan includes 3 generations per month and study in the browser, but no exports.

Does DeckOwl work with photos of my textbook pages?

Yes, photos of pages are read with text recognition, so you can upload them alongside PDFs, slides or typed notes. Students also get 40% off with a school email, and no credit card is needed to start.
