Ok, now back to biology.

The biology semester final is worth 10% of your overall grade in biology.  There are no retakes allowed on this test, so we want you to be as prepared as possible before you sit down for the test.

The test is 32 questions long.  26 questions are multiple choice, and 6 are short constructed responses.  It will take you about an hour.  12 of the 32 questions are on the topic of evolution, which we have not yet learned.  These questions will not count towards your grade on the final, but we want you to do your best on these questions anyway.  On the remaining 20 questions, the following topics are covered:

We want you to prepare for the final by completing mini-quizzes for each topic.  The mini-quizzes are all online, and you get a second chance for each one you get wrong.  If you get a question wrong, you will be taken to a "woops" page, where you get to learn a bit more about the topic and then answer the same question again.  Keep track of how many times you answer incorrectly, because this gives you an idea of how well you will do on this topic on the final.

The MINI QUIZZES:

Transport (20%)

Biological Organization, Organ Systems, Organ Function (30%)

Homeostasis, Thermoregulation, Blood Sugar Regulation(30%)

Cell Organelles and Respiration (15%)

Graph Interpretation C-E-R (5%)
