To help you get started with Spaced Repetition <i>today</i>,
|
||
you need to answer four questions:
|
||
</words>
|
||
</panel>
|
||
|
||
<panel w="600" h="80">
|
||
<words w="600" x="-15" no-bg="">

You'll answer these questions by making flashcards!
|

So, here's the <i>front</i> of our first flashcard, our first question:
|

</words>

|

||
<pic src="pics/end0.png" sx=500 sy=0></pic>
|
||
<words x=10 y=10 w=430 h=60>
|
||
For example, you could use Spaced Repetition to help you learn...

</words>
|

<words x=120 y=104 w=100 style="text-align:left" no-bg class="comic_text">

This organelle is called "mitochondria".
|
||
Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.
|
||
They're found in almost all eukaryotic (nucleus-having) organisms.
|
||
The most widely-accepted hypothesis for the origin of mitochondria is Endosymbiotic Theory:
|
||
around ~1.5 billion years ago, a prokaryotic (nucleus-lacking) cell that was "eaten" by another cell,
|
||
somehow survived, and has continued to live inside them ever since.
