Example cell biology flashcards

Which organelle carries out most of the cell's ATP production?The mitochondrion, through cellular respiration in its inner membrane.

What is the function of the rough endoplasmic reticulum?It synthesizes proteins for secretion or for membranes, since ribosomes are attached to its surface.

What is the difference between osmosis and diffusion?Osmosis is the diffusion of water across a semipermeable membrane toward higher solute concentration.

What role does the Golgi apparatus play in the cell?It modifies, sorts and packages proteins and lipids into vesicles for transport.

Why are cell membranes described as selectively permeable?Their phospholipid bilayer lets small nonpolar molecules pass freely while blocking large or charged ones without transport proteins.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards you struggle with come back sooner, and the ones you know fade into longer gaps.

How it works

Upload your notes

Add a file, paste text or upload a photo of your page.

Review the cards

Check the generated flashcards and edit any that need fixing.

Study on a schedule

Spaced repetition tells you which cards to review today.

Making cards by hand takes longer than most people expect, and generic card sets often cover things your instructor never mentioned. Generating cards from your own files keeps the review focused on what will show up on your exam.

Free accounts get 3 generations per month and can study in the browser. Plus adds unlimited generations and PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export.

Frequently asked questions

How should I study flashcards to remember more?

Review each card at the spacing the scheduler gives you rather than cramming a whole deck the night before. Say the answer out loud before you flip the card, and mark it honestly so the hard ones return sooner.

How many flashcards should I make for one biology unit?

Aim for one card per distinct term, process or fact your instructor stressed, which often lands between 30 and 80 for a unit. Split long chapters into several sets so each review session stays short.

Can I export my flashcards to Anki or a CSV file?

Yes, but exports are a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, along with unlimited generations.

Do I need a credit card to try DeckOwl?

No. You can start on the free plan with no credit card, which includes 3 generations per month and studying in the browser. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
