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. Obsolete taxonomic group containing bacteria and cyanobacteria






2. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






3. Produces digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagons






4. Produces and stores nutrients through photosynthesis






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






6. 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






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






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






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






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






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






12. Contracts or shortens making body parts move






13. Plant with specialized tissue for conducting water and nutrients






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






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






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






17. Organelle in which calcium levels are regulated






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






19. Produce testosterone and sperm






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






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






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






23. Holds tissues together






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






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






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






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






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






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






30. 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






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






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






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






34. xylem and phloem; transport fluid and nutrients internally






35. Organelle containing enzymes used in cell digestion






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






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






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






39. Brain and spinal cord






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






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






42. Structure within a cell that is responsible for a specific function






43. Produce progesterone and estrogens - in addition to eggs






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






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






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






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






48. Useful for tearing and scratching






49. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






50. 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.
