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






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






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






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






6. Produce testosterone and sperm






7. 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






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






9. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






10. Stores and releases bile






11. Organism that harnesses light energy to produce organic materials from carbon dioxide and water






12. Responsible for defending the body against disease - causing agents; white blood cells (macrophages - B- cells and T- cells) - lymph nodes






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






14. Produces digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagons






15. xylem and phloem; transport fluid and nutrients internally






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






17. Tiny nodules found all over the body. They contain a colorless fluid called lymph.






18. Last stage of mitosis - in which the cell membrane begins to pinch the cell in two - cytokinesis begins - and the nuclear membrane forms around the chromosomes






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






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






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






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






23. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial






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






25. Produce progesterone and estrogens - in addition to eggs






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






27. Stores solid waste products






28. Organelle in which calcium levels are regulated






29. Holds tissues together






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






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






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






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






34. Organelle containing enzymes used in cell digestion






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






36. Organelle in eukaryotic cells that produces chemical energy; have their own DNA and may have evolved from a symbiotic relationship between a primitive eukaryotic organism and a primitive bacteria






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






38. Responsible for the collection - transference - and the processing of external and internal information throughout the body; central nervous system - peripheral nervous system






39. Any cell in a multicellular organism except the gametes






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






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






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






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






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






45. Obsolete taxonomic group containing bacteria and cyanobacteria






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






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






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






49. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






50. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes
