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. Chlorophyll containing plant cell organelle within which photosynthesis takes place






2. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






10. Attaches to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements






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






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






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






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






15. Stores and releases bile






16. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial






17. Organelle containing enzymes used in cell digestion






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






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






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






21. Largest organ in terms of surface area






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






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






25. Produces and stores nutrients through photosynthesis






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






27. 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.






28. Plant with specialized tissue for conducting water and nutrients






29. Process that results in cell division






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






31. Produces digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagons






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






33. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






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






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






36. Useful for tearing and scratching






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






38. xylem and phloem; transport fluid and nutrients internally






39. Organelle in which calcium levels are regulated






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






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






42. Epidermis - vascular - ground






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






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






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






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






47. 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.






48. 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






49. 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






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