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. Obsolete taxonomic group containing bacteria and cyanobacteria






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






3. Organelle containing enzymes used in cell digestion






4. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






5. Holds tissues together






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






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






8. An extensive membrane network of cisternae (sac - like structures) held together by the cytoskeleton that encloses the cisternal space (or lumen) from the cytosol and is continuous with the perinuclear space. Three types: RER - SER - SR






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






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






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






12. Organelle in which proteins are synthesized






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






14. 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






15. Any cell in a multicellular organism except the gametes






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






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






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






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






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






21. Discovered meiosis






22. Plant with specialized tissue for conducting water and nutrients






23. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial






24. Attaches to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements






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






26. 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.






27. Process that results in cell division






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






29. Produce testosterone and sperm






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






31. 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






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






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






34. Stores solid waste products






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






36. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division






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






38. Plants with no phloem - xylem - roots - stems - or leaves; not as large or intricate as vascular plants






39. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes






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






41. Protects the body and holds in heat






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






43. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






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






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






46. Produces and stores nutrients through photosynthesis






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






48. Brain and spinal cord






49. Release of water from plants through stomata






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