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. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial






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






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






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






5. Produce progesterone and estrogens - in addition to eggs






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






7. 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






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






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






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






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






12. Protects the body and holds in heat






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






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






15. Organelle containing enzymes used in cell digestion






16. xylem and phloem; transport fluid and nutrients internally






17. Organelle in which calcium levels are regulated






18. Organelle in which proteins are synthesized






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






20. 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






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






22. Attaches to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements






23. Plant with specialized tissue for conducting water and nutrients






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






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






26. 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.






27. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes






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






29. 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.






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






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






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






33. Produce testosterone and sperm






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






35. Stores and releases bile






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






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






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






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






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. Organisms with cells that lack membranous - structurally discrete organelles






42. 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






43. Holds tissues together






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






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






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






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






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






49. Process that results in cell division






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