ATI TEAS Practice Science Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
How many electrons are typically found in each shell of a neutral aluminum atom with 13 electrons in its electron cloud?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Rationale: 1. Aluminum has 13 electrons. 2. Based on the electron configuration rule (2n^2), the first shell can hold 2 electrons, the second shell can hold 8 electrons, and the third shell can hold 3 electrons. 3. Therefore, in a neutral aluminum atom, electrons are typically distributed as follows: 2 in the first shell, 8 in the second shell, and 3 in the third shell. 4. Choice C correctly reflects this electron distribution, making it the correct answer. Summary: A: Incorrect because it does not follow the electron configuration rule for aluminum. B: Incorrect as it does not distribute electrons according to the electron capacity of each shell in an aluminum atom. D: Incorrect because it does not match the electron distribution based on the electron configuration rule for aluminum.
Question 2 of 5
What two factors enable some intercellular chemical signals to diffuse across cell membranes and bind to intracellular receptors?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: They are small and soluble. Small molecules can easily diffuse across cell membranes, while soluble molecules can dissolve in the cell's aqueous environment. This combination allows the signals to pass through the membrane and bind to intracellular receptors. Choice B (large and soluble) is incorrect because large molecules have difficulty crossing the membrane. Choices C (small and insoluble) and D (large and insoluble) are incorrect as they do not facilitate the passage of signals across the cell membrane for binding to intracellular receptors.
Question 3 of 5
If a doctor diagnoses a patient with an impaired posterior pituitary gland, which of the following symptoms related to kidney function does the patient display?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The impaired posterior pituitary gland leads to decreased production of antidiuretic hormone (ADH), resulting in the inability to concentrate urine. This causes the patient to excrete large volumes of dilute urine. Thirst (choice A) is a symptom of diabetes insipidus, a condition related to ADH deficiency. Tiredness (choice B) and weight gain (choice C) are not directly associated with impaired posterior pituitary function. Thus, choice D, concentrated urine, is the correct symptom related to kidney function in this scenario.
Question 4 of 5
What is the purpose of an electrocardiogram?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The purpose of an electrocardiogram (ECG) is to display the heart's rate and rhythm. It measures the electrical activity of the heart, showing how well it is functioning. By analyzing the ECG waveform, healthcare providers can assess the heart's health, detect any abnormalities, and diagnose various heart conditions. It provides crucial information about the heart's electrical impulses, such as the heart rate, rhythm, and any potential irregularities like arrhythmias. Therefore, choice B is correct. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because an ECG does not indicate the rate of blood flow, identify a person's blood group type, or determine cell type in a blood sample.
Question 5 of 5
What is the temperature of 35�C in Kelvin?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale after 5 retries.
