CSET Science: Subtest I Cell And Organismal Biology

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. Responsible for providing voluntary and involuntary movement; cardiac - skeletal - smooth






2. Pores underneath plant leaves used to exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen






3. xylem and phloem; transport fluid and nutrients internally






4. Dense portion of the nucleus; contains RNA and is involved in protein synthesis






5. Organelle that 'packages' proteins to be secreted from the cell






6. Holds tissues together






7. Stores and releases bile






8. Attaches to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements






9. The process by which a cell becomes specialized for a specific structure or function






10. Obsolete taxonomic group containing bacteria and cyanobacteria






11. Detoxifies the blood - produces bile - and stores many vitamins and minerals






12. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial






13. Include macrophages - B- cells - and T- cells






14. Your first line of defense against disease and helps regulate body temperature; skin - glands - hair - nails






15. One of two identical 'sister' parts of a duplicated chromosome






16. Organelle in which calcium levels are regulated






17. Responsible for extracting water and essential vitamins from the digested food






18. Any cell in a multicellular organism except the gametes






19. Located close to the kidneys. Responsible for releasing adrenaline - a hormone that produces the flight or fight response.






20. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes






21. Release of water from plants through stomata






22. Continuous sequence of growth (interphase) and division (mitosis) in a cell






23. Covers organ surfaces (skin - airways - reproductive tract - inner lining of the digestive tract)






24. Organelle in which proteins are synthesized






25. Organisms with cells that have a membrane - bound nucleus and other well - structured organelles






26. Nutrient conducting plant tissue; formed like small tubules; living cells






27. Microtubule within a cell's nucleus; joined to one of the poles during cell division






28. Made up of celluolose - protein - and lignin - and allows pressure in plant cells to increase without the cell bursting.






29. Produces hormones directly into the blood; pituitary gland - thyroid gland - adrenal glands - pancreas - ovaries - testes - thymus gland






30. Responsible for releasing several tropic hormones - which regulate the activity of other endocrine glands






31. Small sac within a cell formed by pinching of some membrane; can contain waste - products the cell is taking in - and secretions the cell is exporting






32. Organelles critical to protein synthesis found in the cytoplasm - joined to the endoplasmic reticulum - and within the mitochondria






33. Organelle in which lipids and steroids are produced - carbohydrates and steroids are metabolized - and calcium concentration - drug detoxification - and attachment of cell membrane receptors are regulated.






34. A doubled rod of condensed chromatin; contains DNA that carries genetic information.






35. Largest organ in terms of surface area






36. The gamete - producing individual or phase in the life cycle of a plant having alternation of generations






37. Cells that are able to differentiate into any type of cell in an organism






38. A cell that can differentiate into many different cell types






39. Circulates through the vessels of the lymphatic system - which in turn assists the immune system.






40. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division






41. Process that results in cell division






42. In plants - a form of undifferentiated embryonic cell; exists in areas of plant growth like the root and shoot tips






43. So named because it lacks striations. Involuntary muscle found along the walls of the digestive tract - bladder - arteries - and other internal organs.






44. Organelle composed of microtubules within the nucleus that helps ensure that duplicated chromosomes are evenly distributed to the daughter cells






45. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






46. Stage in which chromosomes are aligned in the center of the cell






47. Produces and stores nutrients through photosynthesis






48. Connections between plant cells that allow fluids and nutrients to be shared






49. Eukaryotic organism that is not an animal - a plant - or a fungus.






50. Supportive layer of tissue (sapwood or heartwood in trees) that carries water and nutrients up from the roots; dead cells
