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. Contracts or shortens making body parts move






2. 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






3. Produce testosterone and sperm






4. Organelle in which proteins are synthesized






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






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






7. Stores and releases bile






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






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






10. Release of water from plants through stomata






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






12. Organelle containing genetic material






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






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






15. Third phase of mitosis and of meiosis I and II - in which the sister chromatids separate and move toward the poles of the spindle






16. The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms






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






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






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






20. Obsolete taxonomic group containing bacteria and cyanobacteria






21. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial






22. Attaches to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements






23. Discovered meiosis






24. Dense portion of the nucleus; contains RNA and is involved in protein synthesis






25. Epidermis - vascular - ground






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






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






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






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






30. Produces and stores nutrients through photosynthesis






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






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






33. xylem and phloem; transport fluid and nutrients internally






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






35. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division






36. Holds tissues together






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






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






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






40. Stores solid waste products






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






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






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






44. Organelle containing enzymes used in cell digestion






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






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






47. Brain and spinal cord






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






49. Plant with specialized tissue for conducting water and nutrients






50. A complex polymer that fills the spaces in the cell wall - conferring mechanical strength to the cell wall and the plant as a whole.
