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. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial






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






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






4. Protects the body and holds in heat






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






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






7. Epidermis - vascular - ground






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






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






10. Largest organ in terms of surface area






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






12. Organelle containing enzymes used in cell digestion






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






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






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






16. Stores solid waste products






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






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






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






20. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






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






22. Discovered meiosis






23. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






24. 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






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






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






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






28. Attaches to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements






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






30. Stores and releases bile






31. Discovered mitosis






32. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division






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






34. 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






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






36. The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms






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






38. Brain and spinal cord






39. Process that results in cell division






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






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






42. 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






43. Useful for tearing and scratching






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






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






46. Organelle containing genetic material






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






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






50. Produce progesterone and estrogens - in addition to eggs
