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. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






2. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial






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






4. Any cell in a multicellular organism except the gametes






5. Obsolete taxonomic group containing bacteria and cyanobacteria






6. Epidermis - vascular - ground






7. Involuntary muscle that forms the contractile walls of the heart






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






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






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






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






12. 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






13. Discovered mitosis






14. Plant with specialized tissue for conducting water and nutrients






15. Brain and spinal cord






16. Organelle in which proteins are synthesized






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






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






19. Discovered meiosis






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






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






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






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






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






25. Produces and stores nutrients through photosynthesis






26. Stores and releases bile






27. Organelle in which calcium levels are regulated






28. Organelle containing enzymes used in cell digestion






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






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






31. Largest organ in terms of surface area






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






33. Stores solid waste products






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






35. 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.






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






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






38. Release of water from plants through stomata






39. Organelle containing genetic material






40. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division






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






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






43. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes






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






45. Produce progesterone and estrogens - in addition to eggs






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






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






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






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






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