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. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






2. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial






3. Release of water from plants through stomata






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






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






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






7. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






8. Process that results in cell division






9. The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms






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






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






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






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






14. Discovered meiosis






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






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






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






18. Protects the body and holds in heat






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






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






21. An extensive membrane network of cisternae (sac - like structures) held together by the cytoskeleton that encloses the cisternal space (or lumen) from the cytosol and is continuous with the perinuclear space. Three types: RER - SER - SR






22. Holds tissues together






23. Contracts or shortens making body parts move






24. Produces digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagons






25. Organelle in which proteins are synthesized






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






27. Organelle containing genetic material






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






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






30. Discovered mitosis






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






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






33. 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.






34. Produce progesterone and estrogens - in addition to eggs






35. Largest organ in terms of surface area






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






37. Attaches to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements






38. Organisms with cells that lack membranous - structurally discrete organelles






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






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






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






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






43. Stores solid waste products






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






45. Organelle in which calcium levels are regulated






46. xylem and phloem; transport fluid and nutrients internally






47. Stores and releases bile






48. 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






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






50. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division
