Biology Flashcards

iOS iPhone

Studying biology is like learning a new language, and Study by APP has a new tool to make it a little easier. Biology Flashcards will help you build vocabulary while mastering complex concepts along the way.

This application is geared towards anyone in high school or college who is taking a general biology course and wants the freedom to study anywhere--anytime!

Let’s face it, cramming the night before a test is no fun, and it doesn’t always work out too well. Your brain retains information much better when it is received in small doses over a longer period time. Ten minutes here, ten minutes there....and you’ve got it!

Are the teacher’s wordy explanations leaving you confused? Biology Flashcards gives you concise definitions that get to the point without losing key details. Relevant examples, pictures, and diagrams will help you connect the word with the meaning, without having to interpret a long paragraph from your textbook.

Studying is much easier when you’re engaged, and Biology Flashcards may just become the best “study buddy” you’ve ever had! This application contains over 600 flashcards and focuses on the following major topics:

Biological Scientists
Basic Chemistry
Biochemistry
Cellular Structure & Transport
Photosynthesis
Cellular Respiration
Cell Division (Mitosis & Meiosis)
Mendelian Genetics
DNA & RNA
Chromosomes & Inheritance
Evolution
Classification of Living Things
Ecology & the Environment
Microbiology
Protists & Fungi
Plants
Invertebrates & Vertebrates
