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






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






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






4. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes






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






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






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






8. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division






9. Organelle in which proteins are synthesized






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






11. Produce testosterone and sperm






12. Holds tissues together






13. Release of water from plants through stomata






14. Attaches to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements






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






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






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






18. Process that results in cell division






19. Stores and releases bile






20. xylem and phloem; transport fluid and nutrients internally






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






22. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






23. Largest organ in terms of surface area






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. 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.






26. Brain and spinal cord






27. 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






28. Useful for tearing and scratching






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






30. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial






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






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






33. 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






34. Produces and stores nutrients through photosynthesis






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






36. Protects the body and holds in heat






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






38. Any cell in a multicellular organism except the gametes






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






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






49. Epidermis - vascular - ground






50. Cells that form the outer surface of plants
