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






2. A complex polymer that fills the spaces in the cell wall - conferring mechanical strength to the cell wall and the plant as a whole.






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






4. Produces and stores nutrients through photosynthesis






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






6. 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.






7. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






8. Any cell in a multicellular organism except the gametes






9. Holds tissues together






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






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






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






13. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes






14. Brain and spinal cord






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






16. A haploid reproductive cell that unites with another haploid reproductive cell to form a zygote






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






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






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






20. Contracts or shortens making body parts move






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






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






23. 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.






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






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






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






27. Stores solid waste products






28. Responsible for digesting and absorbing the extracted vital nutrients from food






29. 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






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






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






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






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






34. Organelle containing genetic material






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






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






37. Protects the body and holds in heat






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






39. Release of water from plants through stomata






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






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






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






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






44. Responsible for transporting materials throughout the body: heart - blood (red - white - platelets) - blood vessels (arteries - vein - capillaries)






45. Organelle in which proteins are synthesized






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






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






48. Stores and releases bile






49. Involuntary muscle that forms the contractile walls of the heart






50. Largest organ in terms of surface area
