CLEP Biology

Subjects : clep, science, biology
Instructions:
  • Answer 50 questions in 15 minutes.
  • If you are not ready to take this test, you can study here.
  • Match each statement with the correct term.
  • Don't refresh. All questions and answers are randomly picked and ordered every time you load a test.

This is a study tool. The 3 wrong answers for each question are randomly chosen from answers to other questions. So, you might find at times the answers obvious, but you will see it re-enforces your understanding as you take the test each time.
1. A type of innate behavior (instinct.) The FAP is a preprogrammed response to a particular stimulus (known as a releaser stimulus). FAP's include courtship behaviors and feeding of young. These are not learned behaviors - they are automatically perfor

3. Contains multicellular photosynthetic eukaryotic organisms including gymnosperms and angiosperms.






4. Is composed of an anterior and posterior lobe. The stalk of the lobe is connected to the hypothalamus. Antidiuretic Hormone (AH) is produced in the hypothalamus and stored in the posterior pituitary. Upon nervous stimulation from the hypothalamus - t

9. Attaches to an enzyme and blocks the enzyme reaction rather than enhancing it - like a prosthetic group would.






10. Is a phylum that contains jellyfish - hydra - etc.






11. Process of breaking down complex materials (foods) to form simpler substances and release energy.






12. Is a phylum that contains sponges.






13. Is a kingdom that includes algae and protozoa.






14. Is found on the stem between nodes.






15. Are the organelles where cellular respiration occurs.






16. Decomposition of living matter for consumption.






17. Veins in the leaf and are also distributed throughout the stem






18. Super-class of vertebrae including organisms with jaws.






19. The phyla of sponges.






20. The effect of a substrate concentration on the initial reaction rate in the presence of a limited amount of enzyme: _________________ as the concentration of substrate is increased until all the enzymes are used - then the reaction rate will level of






21. The bronchi lead to the two lungs where they branch out in all directions into smaller tubules known as bronchioles.






22. Most fossils of Hominids are from continents other than...






23. Layer that will become the skin - some endocrine glands - and the nervous system.

27. The individual we recognize as an adult fern.






28. Is a kind of plain characterized by a warm climate - grassland - and seasonally dry climate conditions.






29. Is an ion that binds to an enzyme making it more able to catalyze a reaction.






30. The cells of a developing embryo (at the gastrula stage) differentiate into layers - that will later develop into different tissues and organs - including the mesoderm - ectoderm - and endoderm.






31. The phylum of insects (bees).






32. In DNA Guanine pairs with...






33. Is a disease caused by lack of vitamin C in which the body is unable to build enough collagen (a major component of connective tissue).

36. Stood upright before there was an increase in brain size.






37. Is a social behavior of an organism that is beneficial to the group at the individual's expense.






38. Produce adrenaline. This hormone is a well-known constrictor of blood vessels.






39. Is the outermost layer of cells of the stem.






40. Is more like branching out of a tree with dead ends and new branches appearing simultaneously than like steps on a ladder.






41. Are easily converted to ATP - but the main energy products of the Krebs cycle liberate electrons then used in the electron transfer reactions.






42. The systematic search for individuals with a specific genotype in a delineated population.






43. Some energy is lost as heat and becomes unusable.






44. Absorb a photon of light and is found in the grana of the chloroplast.






45. Is a molecule that stores information for protein synthesis and genetic coding.






46. Covers and protects the leaf.






47. Is a compound fruit that forms from several ovaries of separate flowers that fuse together during ripening (strawberry - or pineapple).






48. Are membrane-bound organelles that contain digestive enzymes that digest dead or unused material within the cell or materials absorbed by the cell for use.






49. Controls sensory and motor responses - and controls memory - speech - and intelligence factors.






50. The role played by an organism in its food chain.
