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. Produce testosterone and sperm






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






3. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






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






5. Any cell in a multicellular organism except the gametes






6. 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






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






8. 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






9. Discovered mitosis






10. 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.






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






12. Discovered meiosis






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






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






15. Produces digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagons






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






17. Epidermis - vascular - ground






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






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






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






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






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






23. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division






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






25. Protects the body and holds in heat






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






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






28. Produces and stores nutrients through photosynthesis






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






30. The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms






31. Attaches to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements






32. 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.






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






34. 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






35. Useful for tearing and scratching






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






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






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






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






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






41. 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






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






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






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






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






46. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes






47. Organelle in which calcium levels are regulated






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






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






50. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial
