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. Produces and stores nutrients through photosynthesis






2. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






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






4. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






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






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






7. 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.






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






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






10. Discovered mitosis






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






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






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






14. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division






15. Produce progesterone and estrogens - in addition to eggs






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






17. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes






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






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






20. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial






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






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






23. 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






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






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






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






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






28. Responsible for defending the body against disease - causing agents; white blood cells (macrophages - B- cells and T- cells) - lymph nodes






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






30. Organelle containing genetic material






31. Organelle in which calcium levels are regulated






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






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






34. Produce testosterone and sperm






35. Stores and releases bile






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






37. 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.






38. Plant with specialized tissue for conducting water and nutrients






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






40. Obsolete taxonomic group containing bacteria and cyanobacteria






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






42. Epidermis - vascular - ground






43. Largest organ in terms of surface area






44. 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.






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






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






47. Attaches to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements






48. The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms






49. Organelle containing enzymes used in cell digestion






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