CSET Science: Multiple Subjects Vocab

Subjects : cset, science
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. Neutral particles with mass






2. When a planet is moving around a star - when is it fastest






3. Heat obtained from hot water or steam within the earth






4. Organisms that get their food by breaking down the nutrients in dead organisms or animal wastes






5. Most likely to find cliffs of limestone - dry climate - slow dissolution of calcite






6. Lowering the temperature and raising the pressure






7. Is never in the sky the same time as the sun






8. Cold water current creates cooler climates in coastal areas






9. All veins carry deoxigenated blood except these which bring oxygenated blood from lungs to left auricle






10. Igneous rock of volcanic origin/Igneous rock crystallized beneath the surface of the earth






11. Base






12. A gas is a compressible fluid - with its volume determined by the pressure and temperature of the environment. The volume varies inversely with pressure - a relationship known as


13. Deposits of glacial meltwater streams






14. A picture of the chromosomes is analyzed for abnormal chromosomes






15. Secreted by the stomach it contains acids and enzymes that help in digestion of food






16. Two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen H20






17. Cell respiration - photosynthesis - digestion - peroxidation






18. Sitting at the top of a slope






19. Decomposition of coniferous litter and heavy summer precipitation create a soil solution that is:






20. UV Radiation






21. Cell mobility and shape - Glycolysis






22. Removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere






23. Moon is dark






24. Inherited characteristic






25. Largest particle a river can carry - which indicate how much sediment it can carry






26. The alternate rising and falling of the surface of the ocean caused by the gravitational attraction of the Sun and Moon occurring unequally on different parts of the Earth






27. Gametes that - when joined - produce duploid offspring






28. A minor planet or planetary fragment - most known asteroids are between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter






29. Earth's mantle is primarily made up of






30. Lowest 6 miles of the atmosphere - characterized by temperature decreasing with height






31. Circular colored bands produced by the refraction and reflection of sunlight by a sheet of raindrops. The sun must be behind the observer






32. Contain a lot of grains courser than sand - and often contain appreciable amounts of sand






33. The more mass or volume an object has - the greater the force of attraction; as the objects increase their distance apart - the attraction gets less or decreases.






34. Chambers in a heart






35. The earth's heat melts solid rock into liquid magma (1000 degrees C.). The magma is squeezed upward. Plutonic (igneous) rocks form when the magma cools beneath the surface. Magma that does not cool but erupts at the surface are volcanic rocks. Rock a

42. Parasite benefits at the expense of the host






43. As the temperature of gas increases - the volume of gas






44. The rate of cooling because crystals take time to form. Extremely rapid cooling will result in the formation of a noncrystalline rock.More gradual cooling will produce larger crystals in igneous rocks. Microscopic crystals imply a faster rate of form






45. On the Periodic Table elements increase in atomic number and atomic weight (mass number) horizontally. Each vertical column contains a group of elements with simular chemical properties. Elements on left of periodic chart = metallics (form caustic ba
