Listen carefully and MAKE YOUR BET!
If you have >500, you can wager 500 or less
If you have 500>, you can wager any amount of your points...
If you guess correctly, you get what you bet AND the value (300 pts.)
If you guess incorrectly, you lose your wager AND no one else gets to steal!

Each team will wager as many of their points as they wish on getting the correct answer.
-This number is added to their total if they are correct, subtracted if they are incorrect.
-Teams need to write down the amount they wish to wager on a piece of paper and fold it over.
What is hypertonic, water moving outside of the cells and slug death?
The slug's outside environment is hypertonic to the slug's cells. Because of this water will go toward the high [solute], which is outside of the slug's body. The slug's cells will shrink and the slug will die from dehydration.
