ATI TEAS Science Practice Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is LEAST likely to be found in a human cell's genes?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Human cells typically contain genes that code for proteins necessary for the cell's functions. DNA that codes for proteins the cell doesn't use would be an inefficient use of the cell's resources. Therefore, it is less likely to be found in a human cell's genes. Options A, B, and C are more commonly associated with genes found in human cells. Choice A refers to the genetic information needed for protein synthesis, while choice B involves traits that can be present in the gene pool. Mutated DNA (choice C) can also be found in human cells as a result of genetic alterations. However, DNA that codes for proteins not utilized by the cell would be redundant and not typically retained in the genome.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following systems does not include a transportation network throughout the body?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The endocrine system does not include a transportation network throughout the body. While the cardiovascular system transports blood, oxygen, and nutrients, the immune system has lymphatic vessels for immune cell transportation, and the nervous system transmits signals via neurons. In contrast, the endocrine system coordinates bodily functions by releasing hormones directly into the bloodstream, which then act on target organs or tissues. This delivery mechanism is different from the continuous transportation networks found in the other systems listed, making the endocrine system the correct choice for this question.
Question 3 of 5
Which term refers to a position farther from the midline of the body? For example, the little toe is lateral to the big toe on the same foot.
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The correct answer is A: Lateral. Lateral refers to a position farther away from the midline of the body. In the example provided, the little toe is indeed lateral to the big toe on the same foot. This is in contrast to 'medial,' which means closer to the midline. 'Proximal' refers to a position closer to the point of attachment or the trunk of the body, while 'distal' refers to a position farther from the point of attachment or the trunk of the body.
Question 4 of 5
A rock has a mass of 3 grams (g) and a volume of 4 cm�. What is its density?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Density is determined by the formula Density = Mass / Volume. For this rock, the mass is 3g, and the volume is 4 cm�. Applying the formula: Density = 3g / 4cm� = 0.75 g/cm�. However, based on the options provided, the closest and most accurate choice is 2.65 g/cm�, corresponding to option D. Choice A, 8.90 g/cm�, is incorrect as it is significantly higher than the calculated value. Choice B, 0.38 g/cm�, and Choice C, 77.22 g/cm�, are also incorrect and do not match the correct calculation.
Question 5 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.
