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






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






3. A cell that can differentiate into many different cell types






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






5. Holds tissues together






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






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






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






10. Produce progesterone and estrogens - in addition to eggs






11. Microtubule within a cell's nucleus; joined to one of the poles during cell division






12. 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.






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






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






15. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial






16. Any cell in a multicellular organism except the gametes






17. Plant with specialized tissue for conducting water and nutrients






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






19. Obsolete taxonomic group containing bacteria and cyanobacteria






20. Process that results in cell division






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






22. Attaches to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements






23. 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.






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






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






26. Brain and spinal cord






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






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






29. Protects the body and holds in heat






30. Stores solid waste products






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






32. 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






33. Release of water from plants through stomata






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






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






36. Epidermis - vascular - ground






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






38. Responsible for transporting materials throughout the body: heart - blood (red - white - platelets) - blood vessels (arteries - vein - capillaries)






39. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division






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






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






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






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






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






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






46. Produces digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagons






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






48. Contracts or shortens making body parts move






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






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