Physics Study Guide Maker

Physics students often study by redoing problems, and that's important — but many lost points come from not understanding the concept behind the equation: when momentum is conserved, why the normal force isn't always equal to weight, what a graph's slope actually represents. A physics study guide should make those ideas explicit before you start plugging numbers in.

Try an example:

Upload your physics lecture slides, a text-based PDF of the chapter, a Word handout, or paste your notes. Study Guide Maker builds an outline of the unit, explains each core concept in plain language, writes a glossary of quantities and terms, and adds conceptual practice questions and flashcards — each tagged to the page or slide it came from so you can check the original.

Choose High school, AP/IB or College to match your course. Two physics-specific tips: equations typed as text are read, but equations or free-body diagrams embedded as images are not, so add the key ones to your notes as text. And pair your guide with problem practice — the guide covers the 'why', your problem sets cover the 'how'.

What your study guide includes

Unit outline

Topics in course order (e.g., kinematics → forces → energy → momentum) with page or slide references.

Concept explanations

What each principle says, when it applies, and common misconceptions.

Equation sheet with meaning

Each equation, what every symbol represents, units, and the conditions under which it holds.

Graphs and representations

What slope and area mean on position, velocity and force graphs — add sketches from class.

Problem-solving checklist

Steps for recurring problem types; add your own worked examples.

Glossary

Quantities and terms (vector vs. scalar, impulse, work, power).

Practice questions + answer key

Conceptual multiple choice and short answer with explanations.

Flashcards

Definitions, units and relationships; export as CSV.

Biology

Cellular Respiration

Cellular respiration is how cells turn the chemical energy in glucose into ATP. It happens in three stages — glycolysis, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain — and releases carbon dioxide and water as by-products.

  1. 1. Overview of cellular respiration

    • Overall equation: C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy (ATP + heat).p. 1
    • Aerobic respiration needs oxygen and yields far more ATP than fermentation.p. 1
  2. 2. Glycolysis

    • Glucose is split into two pyruvate molecules in the cytoplasm, producing a net gain of 2 ATP and 2 NADH.p. 2
    • Glycolysis does not require oxygen.p. 2
  3. 3. Krebs (citric acid) cycle

    • Takes place in the mitochondrial matrix; each acetyl-CoA produces 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, 1 ATP and 2 CO2.p. 3
  4. 4. Electron transport chain

    • Located in the inner mitochondrial membrane; NADH and FADH2 donate electrons that pump H+ ions and drive ATP synthase.p. 4
    • Oxygen is the final electron acceptor and forms water.p. 4

Frequently asked questions

Does it read equations in my physics slides?

It reads equations typed as text. Equations, free-body diagrams and graphs inserted as images aren't read, so add the important ones to your notes as text.

Can it generate numerical practice problems?

The practice questions focus on the concepts in your material — multiple choice and short answer with explanations. For calculation practice, use your problem sets and textbook exercises alongside the guide.

What level should I choose?

Pick High school for introductory physics, AP/IB for exam-prep courses, or College for university physics. The level changes the vocabulary and question difficulty.

Can I upload a whole physics textbook?

Guides read up to 20 pages without an account and 30 with a free account, so upload one chapter or one unit at a time — focused input also gives a tighter guide.

Is it free?

Yes to start: 2 guides a day without an account, or 10 a month after signing in with Google.
