Practice TEAS Science Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
What is the role of platelets in the blood?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Platelets play a crucial role in clotting blood. When a blood vessel is damaged, platelets rush to the site to form a plug, preventing excessive bleeding. This process, known as hemostasis, involves platelets adhering to the damaged vessel wall, releasing chemicals to attract more platelets, and forming a clot to stop bleeding. Platelets do not transport oxygen (choice A), fight infection (choice B), or produce antibodies (choice C). Thus, the correct answer is D - Clot blood.
Question 2 of 5
Which part of the digestive system is responsible for absorbing water and forming feces?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: Large intestine. The large intestine is responsible for absorbing water and forming feces as it reabsorbs water from the indigestible food particles that pass through it, leading to the formation of solid waste (feces). The stomach (A) primarily breaks down food with gastric juices. The small intestine (B) is where most nutrient absorption occurs, not water absorption for feces formation. The esophagus (D) is a muscular tube that carries food from the mouth to the stomach, with no role in water absorption or feces formation.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following statements is true about an allergic reaction?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C because an allergic reaction is triggered by the release of histamine and other inflammatory molecules from mast cells, which are stimulated by Immunoglobulin E. This process leads to symptoms such as hives, itching, swelling, and difficulty breathing. Other choices are incorrect because: A: While integumentary and respiratory systems are involved in allergic reactions, they are not overactive systems but rather respond to the allergen. B: B-cells produce antibodies, not immunoglobulins directly related to allergic reactions. D: Histamine is involved in allergic reactions, but keratin and collagen are not typically associated with allergic responses.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following is an end product of cellular respiration?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: ATP energy. Cellular respiration is the process by which cells convert glucose into ATP, the primary energy source for cellular activities. During cellular respiration, glucose is broken down in the presence of oxygen to produce ATP through a series of metabolic reactions. Oxygen (choice A) is required for cellular respiration but is not an end product. Carbon dioxide (choice C) is a byproduct of cellular respiration, not an end product. Water (choice D) is not directly produced as an end product of cellular respiration. Thus, choice B is the correct answer as ATP energy is the main end product generated from cellular respiration.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following are examples of positive correlation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D because a positive correlation indicates that as one variable increases, the other variable also increases. In this case, when plotting rainfall against plant length, if the line trends to the upper right, it shows that as rainfall increases, the plant length also increases. This demonstrates a positive correlation. A is incorrect because it describes a negative correlation where an increase in rainfall leads to a decrease in plant stem length. B is incorrect as it suggests a positive correlation between rainfall and roots length. C is incorrect as a line trending to the lower right also indicates a negative correlation between the variables.
