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.

5. Contains optic lobes - controls sight.






6. 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






7. Are the organelles where cellular respiration occurs.






8. Plants and animals obtain usable nitrogen






9. Is made of stacked cells connected by sieve plates that allow nutrients to pass from cell to cell. They transport food made in the leaves (by photosynthesis) to the rest of the plant).






10. Is the process that releases energy for use by the cell.






11. Is a special protein that acts as a catalyst for organic reactions.






12. Synthesis






13. The physical place where a particular organism lives. It must include all the factors that will support its life and reproduction.






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






15. Subsets below the kingdom level






16. Studied the relationships between traits expressed in parents and offspring and the genes that caused the traits to be expressed.






17. Protein synthesis






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






19. Is composed of a double layer (bilayer) of phospholipids with protein globules imbedded within the layers. The construction of the membrane allows it to aid the function of the cell by permitting entrance and exit of molecules as needed by the cell.






20. Occurs when an individual from an adjacent population of the same species immigrates and breeds with a member of a previously locally isolated group - resulting in a change in the gene pool.






21. Is a protein - which is a polymer of amino acids. They generally have the suffix -ase- like lactase.






22. Nonvascular plants such as mosses which lack tissue for conducting food or water.






23. In order to become an established part of an island ecosystem there must be a populations large enough to ensure _________ - a food source - a suitable habitat - and a source of moisture.






24. An enzyme is unaffected by the reactions it catalyzes






25. An orienting response to light.






26. When the water concentration inside and outside the cell is equal - It is said to be in an...






27. Developed by the German scientists Schleiden and Schwann - States that all living things are made of cells - cells are the basic units of life - all cells come from pre-existing cells.






28. Is the organelle where cellular reproductive processes occur.






29. Are surrounded by capillaries that allow for carbon dioxide to diffuse into the lungs and oxygen to diffuse out.






30. Respiratory organs within insects






31. Carbon - Hydrogen - Oxygen - and Nitrogen






32. Proposes that those individuals within a population that are most adapted to the environment are also the most likely individuals to produce viable offspring.






33. Where protein synthesis occurs. They float unattached in the cytoplasm. They contain RNA that is specific to their function in protein formation.






34. Fossilized burrows from multicellular organisms begin to appear in the geological record approximately 700 million years ago during the Precambrian period. These multicellular animals had only soft parts and could not be fossilized.






35. Is a compound fruit that develops from many ovaries of a single flower fusing together (raspberry).






36. Is found on the stem between nodes.






37. Is the period when the cell is active in carrying on the function it was designed to perform within the organism. Cells spend much more time in interphase than in cell division.






38. Is the sugar that lactase acts upon.






39. Has loosely packed cells that allow for gas and moisture exchange.






40. Breaking down






41. Contains many genes and is a structure comprised of linear DNA and associated proteins.






42. Must be present for photosynthesis to occur - it is not used up in the process.






43. Is the major component of sand and is the most abundant element found in the lithosphere. It is not recycled.






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






45. Layer that will become the gut lining as well as some accessory structures.






46. The most recent and present era. It includes the radiation of flowering plants - the angiosperms.






47. The transfer of electrons.






48. Has an equal (50%) chance of being passed from a carrier mother to a son or a daughter.
