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






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






3. Useful for tearing and scratching






4. Obsolete taxonomic group containing bacteria and cyanobacteria






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






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






7. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






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






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






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






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






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






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






14. 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






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






16. Organelle containing genetic material






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






18. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial






19. Produces digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagons






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






21. Plant with specialized tissue for conducting water and nutrients






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






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






24. 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.






25. Epidermis - vascular - ground






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






27. Last stage of mitosis - in which the cell membrane begins to pinch the cell in two - cytokinesis begins - and the nuclear membrane forms around the chromosomes






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






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






30. Stores solid waste products






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






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






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






34. Produce progesterone and estrogens - in addition to eggs






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






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






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






38. Any cell in a multicellular organism except the gametes






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






40. 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.






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






42. Largest organ in terms of surface area






43. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






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






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






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






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






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






49. Process that results in cell division






50. Attaches to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements
