Why build your own biology OCR A-Level flashcards

OCR A-Level biology flashcards work best when they come from the topics your teacher actually covers. Pre-made sets often mix in content from other specifications, so cards on cell signalling or enzyme kinetics may not match what you will be assessed on.

Cards on enzymes, cell structure and biological molecules taken from your own teacher's notes
Photos of textbook pages read with text recognition, so you can use the book you already own
Quizzes with explanations to check understanding after each topic
Plus adds unlimited generations and exports to Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX

Example OCR A-Level biology flashcards

What is the function of ribosomes?They are the sites of protein synthesis, where mRNA is read to build a polypeptide chain.

Why can small non-polar molecules diffuse through the phospholipid bilayer?The hydrophobic fatty acid tails repel charged and polar molecules but allow non-polar ones like oxygen to pass.

What is the role of ATP in cells?It is the immediate energy source, releasing energy when its terminal phosphate is hydrolysed to form ADP and Pi.

What is the lock and key model of enzyme action?The enzyme's active site has a complementary shape to its substrate, so only specific substrates can bind.

How do the outcomes of mitosis and meiosis differ?Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid cells, while meiosis produces four genetically different haploid cells.

Frequently asked questions

Which OCR A-Level biology topics suit flashcards best?

Terminology-heavy topics such as cell structure, biological molecules and key definitions from the specification work well as cards. Longer processes like the Krebs cycle are often better revised with a mind map or practice quiz.

How many flashcards should I make for OCR A-Level biology?

Aim for one card per key term or process step, so a single topic might need 20 to 40 cards. Split any card that asks for more than one fact at once.

Can I export these flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is a Plus feature at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser without exports.

Is there a free plan?

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