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






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






3. Release of water from plants through stomata






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






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






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






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






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






9. 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.






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






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






12. Produce progesterone and estrogens - in addition to eggs






13. Obsolete taxonomic group containing bacteria and cyanobacteria






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






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






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






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






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






19. 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






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






21. 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






22. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division






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






24. Largest organ in terms of surface area






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






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






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






29. xylem and phloem; transport fluid and nutrients internally






30. 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.






31. Process that results in cell division






32. Holds tissues together






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






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






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






36. The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms






37. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






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






39. Contracts or shortens making body parts move






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






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






42. One of two identical 'sister' parts of a duplicated chromosome






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






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






45. Stores solid waste products






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






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






48. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






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






50. Produces and stores nutrients through photosynthesis
