ATI TEAS Science Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which of the following best defines the term amphoteric?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Failed to generate a rationale after 5 retries.

Question 2 of 5

When testing how quickly a rat dies based on the amount of poison it eats, which of the following is the independent variable and which is the dependent variable?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B because in an experiment, the independent variable is the one that is manipulated by the researcher, which in this case is the amount of poison given to the rat. The dependent variable is the outcome that is being measured, which is how quickly the rat dies. By varying the amount of poison, we can observe the effect it has on the time it takes for the rat to die. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they incorrectly identify the independent and dependent variables or introduce irrelevant variables like whether the rat eats the poison or the cage the rat is kept in, which are not the variables being directly manipulated or measured in this experiment.

Question 3 of 5

Which of the following structures acts like a funnel by delivering urine from the millions of collecting tubules to the ureters?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: The renal pelvis. The renal pelvis acts like a funnel by collecting urine from the millions of collecting tubules and delivering it to the ureters for excretion. The renal cortex and medulla are not directly involved in the collection and transportation of urine. Bowman's capsule is part of the renal corpuscle and is involved in the initial filtration of blood to form urine, not in the delivery of urine to the ureters. Therefore, the renal pelvis is the correct choice as it specifically functions to collect and funnel urine towards the ureters.

Question 4 of 5

Which of the following touch receptors respond to light touch and slower vibrations?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Merkel's discs. Merkel's discs are located in the epidermis and respond to light touch and slower vibrations due to their sensitivity to sustained pressure. Pacinian corpuscles (B) detect deep pressure and fast vibrations. Meissner's corpuscles (C) are responsible for detecting light touch but not vibrations. Ruffini endings (D) respond to skin stretch and warmth but not specifically to light touch and slower vibrations. Therefore, Merkel's discs are the most appropriate choice for receptors that respond to light touch and slower vibrations.

Question 5 of 5

Which level of protein structure is defined by the folds and coils of the protein's polypeptide backbone?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: Secondary structure. Secondary structure is defined by the local folds and coils in the protein's polypeptide backbone, such as alpha helices and beta sheets. This level of structure does not involve interactions between different regions of the protein (tertiary) or multiple protein subunits (quaternary). Primary structure (A) refers to the linear sequence of amino acids. Tertiary structure (C) involves the 3D arrangement of secondary structures and other elements in a single polypeptide chain. Quaternary structure (D) pertains to the arrangement of multiple polypeptide subunits in a protein complex.
