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 digesting and absorbing the extracted vital nutrients from food






2. Organelle containing genetic material






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






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






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






6. 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






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






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






9. Epidermis - vascular - ground






10. Process that results in cell division






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






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






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






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






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






16. Discovered mitosis






17. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






18. Produce testosterone and sperm






19. 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.






20. Useful for tearing and scratching






21. Contracts or shortens making body parts move






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






23. Obsolete taxonomic group containing bacteria and cyanobacteria






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






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






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






27. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes






28. Plant with specialized tissue for conducting water and nutrients






29. Holds tissues together






30. 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






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






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






33. Stores and releases bile






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






35. Produces digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagons






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






37. Organelle containing enzymes used in cell digestion






38. Produces and stores nutrients through photosynthesis






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






40. 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






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






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






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






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






45. 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






46. Produce progesterone and estrogens - in addition to eggs






47. Largest organ in terms of surface area






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






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






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