ATI TEAS 7 science review Questions

Question 1 of 5

What is the waxy or oily substance produced by sebaceous glands that helps lubricate the skin and hair?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Sebum is the waxy or oily substance produced by sebaceous glands. It helps lubricate the skin and hair, keeping them moisturized and protected. Keratin is a protein that makes up hair, skin, and nails, providing structure and strength. Melanin is a pigment that gives color to the skin, hair, and eyes, providing protection against UV radiation. Sweat is a watery fluid produced by sweat glands to help regulate body temperature by cooling the body through evaporation.

Question 2 of 5

Which of the following describes the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Eukaryotic cells have a true nucleus that contains the genetic material, while prokaryotic cells lack a true nucleus. Eukaryotic cells also have membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondria, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus, which are absent in prokaryotic cells.

Question 3 of 5

Which blood vessels carry deoxygenated blood from the body back to the right atrium of the heart?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Veins are the blood vessels that carry deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart. Arteries transport oxygenated blood away from the heart. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels where gas exchange occurs between blood and tissues. Venules are small veins that connect capillaries to larger veins, but they do not directly carry deoxygenated blood back to the heart.

Question 4 of 5

In the context of optical fibers, chromatic dispersion refers to:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Chromatic dispersion in optical fibers refers to the spreading of light pulses due to different colors (wavelengths) traveling at slightly different speeds. This phenomenon can cause the different components of a light pulse to arrive at the receiver at slightly different times, leading to signal distortion. Choice A is incorrect because total internal reflection refers to the phenomenon where light is reflected back into the medium it originated from when hitting the boundary at an angle greater than the critical angle. Choice C is incorrect as it describes the principle of light being guided within an optical fiber through total internal reflection at the core-cladding interface. Choice D is incorrect as the absorption of light by the fiber material does not relate to chromatic dispersion.

Question 5 of 5

Bile, a digestive juice, is produced by which organ?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Bile is a digestive juice produced by the liver. It is stored in the gallbladder and released into the small intestine to aid in the digestion and absorption of fats. The stomach (Choice A) produces gastric juices, not bile. The pancreas (Choice C) produces digestive enzymes and bicarbonate but not bile. The small intestine (Choice D) is where bile is released to aid in digestion but is not the organ that produces bile.
