What they teach you in biology class vs what's on the exam

What they teach in class:
What they give us on the exam paper:

This meme uses a two-part comparison to joke about the common student experience of class material being far clearer and simpler than exam content. The top section is labeled 'What they teach in class:' and features a brightly colored, clearly illustrated animal cell diagram, with all parts labeled with absurd, incorrect, food or random object names including pasta, eyeball, fishball membrane, lime, coral, cabbage, pickled ginger, pepper, matcha, orange peel, and strands of hair, with the only correct line being the ubiquitous meme phrase 'mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell'. The bottom section is labeled 'What they give us on the exam paper:' and shows a completely black, featureless, unlabeled silhouette of a cell with no distinguishable parts, exaggerating how unreadable and difficult exam diagrams feel to students.

This meme was originally posted to the Reddit r/meme subreddit with the original title 'Is it just me?'. It plays on long-running student jokes about the gap between class content and the far more difficult, ambiguous content included in exam materials, especially common for biology diagram identification questions in high school and college biology courses.
