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






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






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






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






5. 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






6. Discovered meiosis






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






8. Useful for tearing and scratching






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






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






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






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






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






14. Organelle containing genetic material






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






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






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






18. xylem and phloem; transport fluid and nutrients internally






19. 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






20. In the life cycle of a plant or alga undergoing alternation of generations - a meiotically produced haploid cell that divides mitotically - generating a multicellular individual - the gametophyte - without fusing with another cell.






21. 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






22. Produce progesterone and estrogens - in addition to eggs






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






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






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






26. Attaches to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements






27. 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






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






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






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






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






32. Holds tissues together






33. The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms






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






35. Produces and stores nutrients through photosynthesis






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






37. Process that results in cell division






38. Largest organ in terms of surface area






39. 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.






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






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






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






44. Organelle in which proteins are synthesized






45. Obsolete taxonomic group containing bacteria and cyanobacteria






46. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






47. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial






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






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






50. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division
