What is in this deck
With this deck you learn 26 building blocks of the cell: which organelle does what, from energy to detoxification.
Mitochondrion, Golgi apparatus, lysosome: the names come quickly, the functions get mixed up for a lifetime.
This deck asks for both, and in both directions: from the part to its function and from the function back to the part. Plus the distinctions that really get tested: plant against animal cell, rough against smooth reticulum, why two organelles carry genetic material of their own.
The technical terms come from Wikidata; where a language is missing there, the usual term stands.
The categories decide what comes up: start with “Boundary and scaffold” alone and add the rest when you are ready.
What you learn
- What each part of the cell does
- How plant and animal cells differ
- The technical terms, both ways round

Learning with Qardbox
You see a card, you think, you turn it over and say whether you knew it. A round asks nothing more of you, and how the app works out the next date from that is on the page about FSRS-6.
What sits comes back less often, what wobbles comes back soon. You set a daily goal, and when nothing is due the app tells you exactly that instead of inventing work for you. How a round goes is shown on the learning page.
Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-up, no ads. After the purchase the deck sits in your library like any other subject and can be studied, reordered and extended just like your own.
What it costs, and what it doesn’t
Qardbox itself costs nothing, and it stays that way. Every function is there from the start, with no subscription, no ads and no tiers; what that rests on is on the page about what it costs.
Your own cards stay unlimited, and decks from friends or from the family you read in without a limit, from a file as well. You do not need this deck in order to learn with Qardbox.
This deck costs nothing. Its 62 cards are checked and save you the work you would otherwise have.
