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. Contracts or shortens making body parts move






2. Stores and releases bile






3. 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






4. Organelle in which calcium levels are regulated






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






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






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






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






9. Brain and spinal cord






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






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






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






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






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






15. Epidermis - vascular - ground






16. Discovered mitosis






17. Connections between plant cells that allow fluids and nutrients to be shared






18. Produces digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagons






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






20. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






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






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






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






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






25. Produce progesterone and estrogens - in addition to eggs






26. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial






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






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






29. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes






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






31. Largest organ in terms of surface area






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






33. Plant with specialized tissue for conducting water and nutrients






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






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






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






37. Attaches to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements






38. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division






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






40. Organelle in which proteins are synthesized






41. 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.






42. Produce testosterone and sperm






43. Process that results in cell division






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






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






46. Discovered meiosis






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






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






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






50. 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
