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 cell that can differentiate into many different cell types






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






3. Organisms with cells that lack membranous - structurally discrete organelles






4. Discovered meiosis






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






6. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division






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






8. Release of water from plants through stomata






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






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






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






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






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






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






15. Protects the body and holds in heat






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






17. 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






18. Organelle in which proteins are synthesized






19. Organelle containing genetic material






20. Largest organ in terms of surface area






21. Thin layer of plant tissue just below the bark which produces the xylem






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






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






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






25. Organelle containing enzymes used in cell digestion






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






27. Epidermis - vascular - ground






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






29. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






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






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






32. Discovered mitosis






33. Brain and spinal cord






34. 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.






35. Produces digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagons






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






37. Stores solid waste products






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






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






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






41. Attaches to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements






42. The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms






43. 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






44. Holds tissues together






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






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






47. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes






48. Makes up the brain - cranial nerves - spinal cord - and peripheral nervous system






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






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