The mitochondria are the {{c1::powerhouse}} of the cell.

The speed of light in vacuum is {{c1::299,792,458}} m/s.

Each paragraph containing a {{c1::answer}} marker becomes a card. The marker is replaced by […] on the front, and the answer appears on the back.

AI topic assignment

When you drop an import, Revu classifies each row against your course's existing topics. High-confidence matches (≥ 80%) are auto-applied; uncertain rows are marked "Imported" until you assign them manually in the preview. Suggestions run in the background — the preview page opens immediately.
