TEAS Test 7 science

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The term 'reaction mixture' is used to describe the combination of both reactants and products that exist simultaneously during a chemical reaction. It encompasses not only the initial substances (reactants) but also the resulting compounds (products) formed throughout the reaction process. Choice A, 'Solution,' typically refers to a homogenous mixture where one substance is dissolved in another. Choice B, 'Mixture,' is a general term that does not specifically indicate the mix of reactants and products in a chemical reaction. Choice D, 'Precipitate,' specifically refers to the solid formed when two solutions react and a solid compound is produced.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A) Animalia consists of multicellular organisms that lack cell walls and are heterotrophic. Therefore, it does not primarily consist of photosynthetic organisms with cell walls made of cellulose. B) Fungi are multicellular organisms with cell walls made of chitin and are heterotrophic, so they do not fit the description. C) Plantae primarily consists of multicellular, photosynthetic organisms with cell walls made of cellulose. This accurately describes plants. D) Protista is a diverse kingdom that includes unicellular and multicellular organisms with varying characteristics, but it does not primarily consist of multicellular, photosynthetic organisms with cell walls made of cellulose.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A heart murmur is an abnormal sound heard during a stethoscope examination of the heart. It can indicate issues with the heart valves, such as stenosis or regurgitation. Tachycardia refers to a fast heart rate, bradycardia refers to a slow heart rate, and arrhythmia refers to an irregular heart rhythm. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Heart murmur,' as it specifically relates to the abnormal sound heard during a stethoscope examination that may signal a heart valve issue.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, the Mitral valve. The mitral valve, also known as the bicuspid valve, is situated between the left atrium and the left ventricle. Its primary function is to prevent the backflow of blood from the left ventricle into the left atrium during ventricular contraction. The other choices are incorrect because: A) The aortic valve prevents backflow from the aorta into the left ventricle. B) The pulmonary valve prevents backflow from the pulmonary artery into the right ventricle. C) The tricuspid valve prevents backflow from the right ventricle into the right atrium.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Sweat glands play a crucial role in regulating body temperature by producing sweat that evaporates from the skin surface. This evaporation cools the body when it is hot and helps to maintain a stable internal temperature. Sebaceous glands produce oil to lubricate the skin, hair follicles are responsible for hair growth, and Langerhans cells are a type of immune cell in the skin. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Sweat glands' as they are specifically designed to respond to temperature changes by constricting or dilating to help regulate body temperature.
