TEAS version 7 quizlet science

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The SI unit of measurement for acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s�). Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity over time. It is a vector quantity with dimensions of length per time squared. Meters per second squared (m/s�) represents the change in velocity (meters per second) over a specific time interval (seconds) squared. Choice A, meters per second (m/s), represents velocity, not acceleration. Choice B, Newton (N), is the unit of force. Choice C, Meters (m), represents only distance, not acceleration. Therefore, the correct unit for acceleration is meters per second squared (m/s�).

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Polymers are large molecules formed by repeating units called monomers. These monomers link together to form long chains or networks, giving polymers their unique properties such as flexibility, strength, and durability. Choice B is incorrect because polymers are not simple organic molecules with low boiling points, but rather complex structures formed by polymerization. Choice C is incorrect as polymers are not necessarily highly reactive compounds, and they are not exclusively used in industrial processes. Choice D is incorrect because polymers can have varying solubilities and structures depending on their composition and properties.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Mitosis is the process by which a cell divides into two identical daughter cells. This type of cell division is essential for growth, repair, and maintenance of multicellular organisms. Meiosis, on the other hand, is a type of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes as the parent cell. Meiosis does not directly result in the formation of new cells, as it is specifically geared towards the production of reproductive cells. Therefore, the correct answer is A. Option C, stating both mitosis and meiosis, is incorrect because meiosis is not involved in the general process of cell division to produce new cells; it is specialized for gamete formation. Option D is incorrect because mitosis is indeed the process responsible for cell division in which one cell divides into two daughter cells, making it the accurate choice for this question.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'It has a high resistance to flow.' A solution with high viscosity exhibits a high resistance to flow. Viscosity measures the fluid's resistance to deformation or flow, with higher viscosity indicating thicker and slower-flowing fluids. Choice A is incorrect because high viscosity means the solution flows slowly, not easily. Choice B is incorrect as high viscosity implies a high resistance to flow, not a low one. Choice D is irrelevant to viscosity and does not describe a characteristic associated with high viscosity.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Rationale: A) Carbon dioxide: Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas that is naturally present in the Earth's atmosphere and is also released through human activities such as burning fossil fuels. B) Water vapor: Water vapor is a greenhouse gas that is naturally present in the atmosphere and plays a significant role in the Earth's climate system. C) Nitrogen: Nitrogen is not considered a greenhouse gas because it does not have the ability to absorb and emit infrared radiation in the same way that greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane do. D) Methane: Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that is released through natural processes such as wetland decomposition and human activities such as livestock farming and fossil fuel extraction. Therefore, the correct answer is C) Nitrogen, as it is not a greenhouse gas.
