I think "scaffolding" for other knowledge and short complete lists would be great:
Anatomical terms of location
Metric Unit Prefixes
Greek Alphabet
Human Glands
Vitamins
Amino Acids
Match Moons to Planets

If someone can find a good way to organize complexity classes, cell anatomy, or time periods I'd love you for that too.

Lists of the amino acids, vitamins, and greek letters are already in the anki "shared deck" section.

Ah, cool, thanks. I knew amino acids were but I remember not liking it.

For those kinds of tasks, you'll probably want to use something like Amazon's mechanical turk.

Wow! I didn't know about this. Thanks.

cell anatomy

What do you mean by this? Visualizations of organelles? Are you referring to the tissue level? If you can get more specific I might be able to help you make something, because this pursuit of building mental models of cells is something I'm also interested in.

I'm not quite sure what I'm looking for in this case, unfortunately. Just seems like something that could work well, matching pictures of cell-things with names of those things.
