What to Expect on the Test on Wednesday 10/25

1. 16 multiple choice questions.  See Kahoot game to see similar questions.  To see the Kahoot game, you need to make a Kahoot account then go to mokenny and you can see all my public quizzes.  Yours is the Cell and Membrane one. (1 pt each)
2. Draw and measure something as seen in the microscope.  The white card will be available to get the actual size.  Then, calculate the magnification of your drawing, using a ruler and showing work.  (8 pts)
