Is the Physics and Maths tutor flashcards good for a levels?

Should I use the flashcards from physics and maths tutor a level biology? It contains notes that are beyond the specification such as exocytosis and it has a possible error. It claims that glycogen is also found in plants and I can't find anywhere in the web that says it does.

But what is correct because I read a source that says it is never found in plants

Please help

the second source says that glycogen is present in plants that do not contain chlorophyll, so your sources do not contradict each other

It isn't mentioned in any if my textbooks so for my A levels should I just say it isn't? And in my distant learning source it says that plants do not store glycogen.

i won't say they're bad but don't rely just on them for revision

I think rather saying that it isn't in plants, say that the main storage polysaccharide for animals is glycogen, whereas the main storage polysaccharide for plants is starch
or something like that

I was told that they were very good.

Also this doesn't explain the extra content such as exocytosis and such.

no. I'm not saying PMT is not good, they are but don't use only them , use other resources as well

I am. I'm currently using ANKII to retype the flashcards and using other sources to make new flashcards using active recall and spaced repetition

STOP bumping your thread - it's against the rules.

Many people don't find commercial flash cards at all useful - save your money.

it's fine to use them along with other resources and your specification. if something comes up on the PMT revision cards that is definitely not on your spec then there is no need to learn/revise it, might be interesting to look into if you want to
