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. Organelle in which proteins are synthesized






2. Protects the body and holds in heat






3. Stores and releases bile






4. Any cell in a multicellular organism except the gametes






5. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division






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






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






8. Discovered mitosis






9. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






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






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






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






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






14. Holds tissues together






15. Useful for tearing and scratching






16. Organelle containing enzymes used in cell digestion






17. 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






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






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. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes






21. Obsolete taxonomic group containing bacteria and cyanobacteria






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






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






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






25. In plants - a form of undifferentiated embryonic cell; exists in areas of plant growth like the root and shoot tips






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






27. Microtubule within a cell's nucleus; joined to one of the poles during cell division






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






29. Release of water from plants through stomata






30. Largest organ in terms of surface area






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






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






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






34. Organelle containing genetic material






35. 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






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






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






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






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






40. Brain and spinal cord






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






42. Stores solid waste products






43. Process that results in cell division






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






45. Produce progesterone and estrogens - in addition to eggs






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






47. Responsible for extracting water and essential vitamins from the digested food






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






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






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