ATI TEAS Science Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following accurately describes the measurements?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Accuracy refers to how close a measurement is to the true or accepted value, while precision refers to how close individual measurements are to each other. If the measurements are accurate but not precise, it means they consistently hit the target value but may vary in terms of how closely grouped they are. Choice B, 'They are accurate but not precise,' correctly describes the scenario where the measurements are on target but not consistently close to each other. Choice A is incorrect because it implies both accuracy and precision, which is not the case here. Choice C is incorrect because it suggests precision without accuracy, while choice D is incorrect as it indicates neither accuracy nor precision, which is not a typical scenario for measurements.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following structures is unique to eukaryotic cells?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Nuclei are structures that are unique to eukaryotic cells. Prokaryotic cells lack a defined nucleus, and their genetic material floats freely in the cytoplasm. Eukaryotic cells have nuclei that house the genetic material in the form of chromosomes, separated from the cytoplasm by a nuclear membrane. This distinct organelle is a key feature that sets eukaryotic cells apart from prokaryotic cells. Cell walls (Choice A) are found in plant cells, fungi, and some prokaryotes but are not unique to eukaryotic cells. Cell membranes (Choice C) are present in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, serving as a barrier that encloses the cell contents. Vacuoles (Choice D) are membrane-bound organelles found in both plant and animal cells, making them not unique to eukaryotic cells.
Question 3 of 5
Which term refers to a position toward the feet? For example, the foot is part of the inferior extremity.
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is 'Inferior.' 'Inferior' refers to a position located towards the feet or lower part of the body. This is the opposite of 'superior,' which indicates a position towards the head or upper part of the body. 'Anterior' refers to the front of the body, 'posterior' refers to the back of the body, making them incorrect choices in this context.
Question 4 of 5
Which molecules are soluble in nonpolar solvents but are hydrophobic?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: Lipids are hydrophobic molecules that are soluble in nonpolar solvents like oils but insoluble in water. They consist of fats, oils, waxes, and steroids and play essential roles in energy storage, insulation, and cell membrane structure. Carbohydrates, proteins, and nucleic acids are not typically soluble in nonpolar solvents and do not exhibit the same hydrophobic characteristics as lipids. Carbohydrates are usually hydrophilic and soluble in water, proteins have both hydrophilic and hydrophobic regions but are not generally soluble in nonpolar solvents, and nucleic acids are polar molecules that are not known for their solubility in nonpolar solvents.
Question 5 of 5
How does the Law of Conservation of Mass apply to this reaction: 2H₂ + O₂ → 2H₂O?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The Law of Conservation of Mass states that matter cannot be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction. In the given reaction, 2 moles of hydrogen combine with 1 mole of oxygen to form 2 moles of water. The total mass of the reactants (hydrogen and oxygen) is equal to the total mass of the products (water), meaning there is no decrease or increase in matter. The total mass of the system remains constant, demonstrating the conservation of mass. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because the conservation of mass does not specifically relate to electrons, individual elements (like hydrogen), or the formation of new molecules; instead, it focuses on the overall mass of the system before and after the reaction.
