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. Move away from each other






2. Operates unconsciously and automatically to regulate vital functions like circulation - respiration - excretion - and muscle tesion






3. In what layer of the atmosphere does aurora take place






4. Have more energy to tranport sediment than laminar flows






5. The push or pull on an object






6. Galaxy our solar system is located in - a flat spiral disk with rotating spiral arms






7. 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






8. Carry less sediment than turbulent flows






9. Cell mobility and shape - Glycolysis






10. The ability of a solid to let liquid to pass through it






11. Reported that amounts of DNA and its nitrogenous bases varies from one species to another - though balance of adenine - thymine - guanine - cytosine is every species






12. Collapse of a smallor midsize star






13. Deposits of glacial meltwater streams






14. Number indicating concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution. A pH of 7 is neutral - less than 7 is acidic - and greater than 7 is alkaline. pH of Solutions: Strong Acid = 1 Weak Acid = 4 - Neutral = 7 Weak Base = 10 Strong Base = 13






15. The maintenance of a particular temperature of the living body






16. The consumption of one organism by another






17. Both pieces retain their original magnetic domains






18. Alignment of sun - moon and earth (in that order)






19. Spherical bodies containing enzymes - help in the removal of unwanted substances - help in digestion






20. Water is evaporated by the sun. Warm - moist air rises to altitudes of lower pressure - the air expands and cools. Cooling results in condensation of water vapor (clouds). Clouds move over land - drop water. Water ultimately goes back to the ocean.






21. A soulte that donates protons






22. The creation of new species






23. Four groups of plants






24. As the temperature of gas increases - the volume increases (Charle's Law - as temp increases - so does volume






25. Due to gravity






26. Pumps dexoiginated blood to lungs through pulmonary arteries






27. Returns to our solar system every 76 years


28. Proof of model of DNA replication suggested by Watson and Crick came from (referred to as the most beautiful experiment in biology) showed DNA replication is semi - conservative






29. 4.5 billion years


30. The thermal energy of the metal lid increased - its particles spread out - and the substance expanded






31. Scientific theory used to explain the homologous structural changes that have occurred in organisms in the past 10000 years






32. An excess of deficiency of electrons in the body






33. Condensation occurs when humid air contacts a cold surface






34. The moon's path is in the earths shadow






35. Plasma membrane - protection - cell interactions - permability - endocytosis - and exocytosis






36. Total amount of sediment a river can carry






37. Rhizobium is found in root nodules of peas - it gest nourishment from these plants and in turn provides nitrates to the plants which are used in protein synthesis






38. Stars with a cooler surface temperature






39. Flowering plants which bear seeds within their fruit






40. Atoms cannot move at all






41. At plate boundaries


42. Permit certain chemical reactions to proceed at significant speeds
