Hello Everyone!I was told that you did very

well on your cell parts quiz, so I’m back to help you all study for your cell test! Just like last

time each time you answer you will wager some of your

points depending on how sure you are of your answer. Never wager all of your points unless

you are POSITIVE about an answer. If you are right, you

win the points you wagered. If you are wrong, you must

subtract that number from your points.
