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. Release of water from plants through stomata






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






3. Produces digestive enzymes and the hormones insulin and glucagons






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






5. Attaches to bones and is responsible for voluntary movements






6. Plant with specialized tissue for conducting water and nutrients






7. Useful for tearing and scratching






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






9. Contracts or shortens making body parts move






10. 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






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






12. Discovered mitosis






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






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






15. 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.






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






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






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






19. Any cell in a multicellular organism except the gametes






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






21. The basic structural and functional unit of all organisms






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






23. Brain and spinal cord






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






25. Largest organ in terms of surface area






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






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






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






29. Cells that form the outer surface of plants






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






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






32. Stores solid waste products






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






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






35. Process that results in cell division to produce gametes






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






37. Organelle in which calcium levels are regulated






38. Connective - muscle - nervous - epithelial






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






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






41. 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.






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






43. Sweat glands and sebaceous glands






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






45. 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.






46. Protects the body and holds in heat






47. Division of the cytoplasm during cell division






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






49. Holds tissues together






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