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






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






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






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






5. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






6. Largest organ in terms of surface area






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






8. Organelle in which proteins are synthesized






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






10. Organelle containing genetic material






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






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






13. Obsolete taxonomic group containing bacteria and cyanobacteria






14. Protects the body and holds in heat






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






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






17. 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.






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






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






20. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes






21. Process that results in cell division






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






23. Produces and stores nutrients through photosynthesis






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






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






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






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






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






29. Any cell in a multicellular organism except the gametes






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






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






32. Useful for tearing and scratching






33. Stores solid waste products






34. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






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






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






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






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






39. Stores and releases bile






40. 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






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






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






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






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






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






46. Organelle composed of microtubules within the nucleus that helps ensure that duplicated chromosomes are evenly distributed to the daughter cells






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






48. Brain and spinal cord






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






50. Holds tissues together
