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. Useful for tearing and scratching






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






3. Protects the body and holds in heat






4. Plant with specialized tissue for conducting water and nutrients






5. Any cell in a multicellular organism except the gametes






6. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






7. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






8. Region of condense chromosome that looks pinched; where spindle fibers attach during meiosis and mitosis.






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






10. Release of water from plants through stomata






11. Attaches to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements






12. 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.






13. Produce progesterone and estrogens - in addition to eggs






14. Brain and spinal cord






15. The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms






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






17. xylem and phloem; transport fluid and nutrients internally






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






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






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






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






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






23. Process that results in cell division






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






25. Third phase of mitosis and of meiosis I and II - in which the sister chromatids separate and move toward the poles of the spindle






26. Discovered mitosis






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






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






29. 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






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






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






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






33. Organelle containing genetic material






34. Produces digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagons






35. Organelle containing enzymes used in cell digestion






36. Organelle in which proteins are synthesized






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






38. Epidermis - vascular - ground






39. 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






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






41. Produces and stores nutrients through photosynthesis






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






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






44. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes






45. Contracts or shortens making body parts move






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






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






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






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






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