Biology and Biochemistry flashcards

These flashcard decks cover the Biological and Biochemical Foundations of Living Systems section of the MCAT, the section the AAMC tests with 59 questions in 95 minutes. Each deck takes one high-yield topic, such as enzyme kinetics, glycolysis and the Krebs cycle, transcription and translation, the endocrine system, or neurons and action potentials, and breaks it into short definitions you can recall in a few seconds, each with a concrete example and, where one helps, a memory hook.

MCAT passages assume you already know these terms, so learn them here first, then test yourself with the quiz on the same topic, where the questions ask you to apply each idea rather than define it. Every deck works in the browser: flip a card, mark whether you knew it, and go back over the ones you missed until the whole topic sticks.
