TEAS Test 7 science Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which form of energy is associated with the motion of an object?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: Kinetic energy is the form of energy associated with the motion of an object. When an object is in motion, it possesses kinetic energy due to its movement. Potential energy, on the other hand, is stored energy that an object has due to its position or condition. Thermal energy is related to heat, while electrical energy is associated with the flow of electric charge. In this case, the correct answer is kinetic energy as it directly correlates with the motion of an object.
Question 2 of 5
The small intestine is where most of the chemical digestion and nutrient absorption occur. What is the finger-like projection in the small intestine that increases its surface area for absorption?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Microvilli are the finger-like projections in the small intestine that increase its surface area for absorption. Villi are also present in the small intestine and help increase the surface area for absorption. However, microvilli are smaller structures found on the surface of villi, further increasing the surface area available for nutrient absorption. Rugae are folds in the stomach that allow for expansion when food is consumed and are not found in the small intestine. Therefore, the correct answer is C) Microvilli. Villi and microvilli are specific to the small intestine, playing vital roles in nutrient absorption, while rugae are specific to the stomach's structure and function, serving a different purpose than increasing surface area for absorption.
Question 3 of 5
Which of the following is NOT a common symptom of pregnancy?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Loss of appetite.' Loss of appetite is not a common symptom of pregnancy. In fact, many pregnant individuals experience an increase in appetite due to hormonal changes and increased energy needs during pregnancy. Fatigue, nausea, and increased urination are more commonly reported symptoms during pregnancy. Fatigue is often experienced due to hormonal changes and the body's increased metabolic demands during pregnancy. Nausea, commonly known as morning sickness, is a well-known symptom experienced by many pregnant individuals. Increased urination is a common symptom in pregnancy due to hormonal changes leading to increased blood flow to the kidneys and increased fluid processing by the body.
Question 4 of 5
Which bone is the longest in the human body?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is the femur (thigh bone) as it is the longest bone in the human body, extending from the hip to the knee. It plays a vital role in supporting the body's weight and enabling movement. The humerus is located in the upper arm and is not as long as the femur. The tibia is the shin bone and is shorter than the femur. The scapula is the shoulder blade and is not the longest bone in the body, making it an incorrect choice.
Question 5 of 5
Muscle soreness after exercise is often caused by microscopic tears in muscle fibers. This is called
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: Muscle soreness after exercise is often caused by microscopic tears in muscle fibers, leading to Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). Atrophy refers to the wasting away of muscle tissue, hypertrophy is the increase in muscle size, and spasm is an involuntary contraction of a muscle. DOMS typically occurs 24 to 72 hours after intense exercise and is characterized by muscle stiffness, tenderness, and reduced range of motion. It is a normal response to unfamiliar or strenuous physical activity and indicates that the muscles are adapting to the workload. Therefore, the correct answer is C (DOMS) as it specifically describes the phenomenon of muscle soreness resulting from microscopic tears in muscle fibers, distinguishing it from the other choices which refer to different physiological processes or conditions.
