Biology flashcards: cell biology, mitosis, DNA and the human skeleton

Cell biology is the foundation for genetics, physiology and medicine, and anatomy starts with the skeleton; both are heavy on vocabulary. These decks turn organelles, transport, cell division, the central dogma and the bones of the body into short cards you can review in a few minutes a day.

How spaced repetition works

  1. Step 1See a cardRecall the answer before you flip it. Effortful recall is what builds memory.
  2. Step 2Grade yourselfAgain, Hard, Good or Easy. Each answer sets when the card comes back.
  3. Step 3Review just in timeCards return right before you would forget them: minutes, then days, then months.

Frequently asked questions

What does the cell biology deck cover?

Organelles and their functions, membrane transport, the cell cycle, mitosis and meiosis, and DNA replication, transcription and translation.

What does the human skeleton deck cover?

The bones of the skull, spine, ribcage, arms, hands, legs and feet, with bone counts, the main joint types and a few key facts.

Is it useful for the MCAT?

It reviews the core cell and molecular biology the MCAT builds on. The exam goes deeper, so treat it as a foundation.

Can I add diagrams or my own cards?

You can add the deck to your collection and write your own cards, including formulas in LaTeX.
