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. Discovered mitosis






2. Organelle in which proteins are synthesized






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






4. Stores solid waste products






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






6. 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






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






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






9. Holds tissues together






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






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






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






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






14. Region of condense chromosome that looks pinched; where spindle fibers attach during meiosis and mitosis.






15. Stores and releases bile






16. Obsolete taxonomic group containing bacteria and cyanobacteria






17. 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.






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






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






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






21. Produces digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagons






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






23. In plants - a form of undifferentiated embryonic cell; exists in areas of plant growth like the root and shoot tips






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






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






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






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






28. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division






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






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






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






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






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






34. 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






35. Contracts or shortens making body parts move






36. Largest organ in terms of surface area






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






38. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






39. So named because it lacks striations. Involuntary muscle found along the walls of the digestive tract - bladder - arteries - and other internal organs.






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






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






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






43. Epidermis - vascular - ground






44. Useful for tearing and scratching






45. Plant with specialized tissue for conducting water and nutrients






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






47. Any cell in a multicellular organism except the gametes






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






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






50. Organelle containing enzymes used in cell digestion
