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. Organelle containing genetic material






2. The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms






3. One of the cells formed from a parents cell after mitosis






4. Organelle in which proteins are synthesized






5. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






6. Organelle containing enzymes used in cell digestion






7. Responsible for storing food and initiating the digestion of proteins






8. Is actually a lymphoid organ in the neck or upper chest of all vertebrates. It is essential in the normal development of the immune system.






9. 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.






10. Stores and releases bile






11. Located in the neck area. Releases thyroxin - which regulates the body's metabolic rate.






12. Structure within a cell that is responsible for a specific function






13. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes






14. Makes up the brain - cranial nerves - spinal cord - and peripheral nervous system






15. Produces and stores nutrients through photosynthesis






16. Organisms with cells that lack membranous - structurally discrete organelles






17. Holds tissues together






18. Responsible for the breakdown and absorption of food and the removal of solid waste; include the alimentary canal (mouth - esophagus - stomach - small intestine - large intestine - colon/ rectum) and the accessory organs (liver - pancreas - gall blad






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






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






21. Produces digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagons






22. Strands of plant tissue containing xylem and phloem - sometimes surrounded by a fiber covering






23. Membrane - bound and fluid filled organelle in plant of fungal cells; also found in some bacterial - protist - and animal cells






24. Group of similarly constructed cells that perform the same function within a multicellular organism






25. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division






26. Discovered meiosis






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






28. 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






29. In the life cycle of a plant or alga undergoing alternation of generations - a meiotically produced haploid cell that divides mitotically - generating a multicellular individual - the gametophyte - without fusing with another cell.






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






31. Produce testosterone and sperm






32. Region of condense chromosome that looks pinched; where spindle fibers attach during meiosis and mitosis.






33. Thin layer of plant tissue just below the bark which produces the xylem






34. Release of water from plants through stomata






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






36. Contracts or shortens making body parts move






37. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






38. Ability of a cell to differentiate into multiple different types of cells






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






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






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






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






43. All of the nerves leading to and from the central nervous system






44. Chlorophyll containing plant cell organelle within which photosynthesis takes place






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






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






47. Produce progesterone and estrogens - in addition to eggs






48. Brain and spinal cord






49. Stage of mitosis in which chromosomes condense into structures visible in a regular microscope






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