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






2. The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms






3. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






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






5. Produces and stores nutrients through photosynthesis






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






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






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






9. 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






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






11. Holds tissues together






12. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial






13. Organelle containing enzymes used in cell digestion






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






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






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






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






18. 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






19. 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.






20. Epidermis - vascular - ground






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






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






23. 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






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






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






26. 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






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






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






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






30. Organelle in which calcium levels are regulated






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






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






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






34. Largest organ in terms of surface area






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






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






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






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






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






40. Contracts or shortens making body parts move






41. Any cell in a multicellular organism except the gametes






42. Brain and spinal cord






43. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






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






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






46. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes






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






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






49. Release of water from plants through stomata






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