BIOLOGY OF THE CELL - STUDY GUIDE FOR FINAL EXAM

The final exam will consist of multiple choice questions (Total points possible are 100 pts.). The following strategies should help you in studying for this exam.   The exam will be held in LSW 442 on May 2, 2008 from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm.  Please do everything within reason to take the exam at the appointed time and place.

  • Understand the information and processes represented in the figures, tables and panels in Chapters 1-7, 11-14, and 19-20 of the textbook.
