-1-BIOS 100 - Fall, 2008pm Name:Exam I, 15 Sept, 2008Michael Muller, Instructor TA:This exam consists of 52 questions over 7 pages (the last page of which has the periodic table). Pleasecheck to see that all the pages are present before you begin. Use a #2 pencil and bubble in all answers. Your score will be posted on the UIC Blackboard site as soon as they are in. You will gain four extracredit points if you bubble in your last name first. Good Luck! 1.
