TEAS version 7 quizlet science Questions
Question 1 of 5
Which of the following is NOT a type of epithelium?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, Pseudostratified columnar. Pseudostratified columnar epithelium is not a type of epithelium. It is a specialized form of simple columnar epithelium. Stratified squamous, simple cuboidal, and stratified columnar are all types of epithelial tissues found in the human body. Stratified squamous epithelium is found in the skin, mouth, and esophagus; simple cuboidal epithelium lines kidney tubules and glands; stratified columnar epithelium is present in parts of the respiratory tract and male urethra.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following is an example of stabilizing selection?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: - Stabilizing selection is a type of natural selection that favors the intermediate variants in a population, while selecting against the extreme traits. This results in the maintenance of the current average trait in the population. - Option A is incorrect because stabilizing selection does not favor extreme traits; instead, it favors the average trait. - Option B is incorrect because stabilizing selection does not remove individuals with extreme traits; it acts against extreme traits by favoring the intermediate variants. - Option D is incorrect because stabilizing selection does not favor one specific trait over all others; it favors the average trait by selecting against extreme traits.
Question 3 of 5
A pendulum swings back and forth. What type of energy conversion occurs during its motion?
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: As the pendulum swings back and forth, it undergoes a continuous conversion between potential energy (at the highest point of the swing) and kinetic energy (at the lowest point of the swing). At the highest point, the pendulum has maximum potential energy due to its height above the ground. As it swings down, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, which is the energy of motion. At the lowest point of the swing, the pendulum has maximum kinetic energy and minimal potential energy. The process repeats as the pendulum swings back in the opposite direction, demonstrating the conversion between potential and kinetic energy. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because the energy conversion in a swinging pendulum primarily involves changes between potential and kinetic energy, not thermal, chemical, electrical, nuclear, or radiant energy.
Question 4 of 5
What is a group of organisms of the same species living in a particular area called?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: A) Community refers to all the populations of different species living and interacting in a particular area. Since the question specifies organisms of the same species, community is not the correct answer. B) Population is a group of organisms of the same species living in a particular area. This term specifically refers to individuals of the same species and their interactions within a defined area. C) Ecosystem includes all the living organisms (biotic factors) and non-living components (abiotic factors) in a particular area and their interactions. While populations are part of an ecosystem, the term 'ecosystem' is broader and includes multiple populations. D) Habitat refers to the specific environment where an organism lives, including the physical and biological factors. It is the place where a population or individual organism resides, but it does not specifically refer to a group of organisms of the same species.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is a characteristic of a solution with high viscosity?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'It has a high resistance to flow.' A solution with high viscosity exhibits a high resistance to flow. Viscosity measures the fluid's resistance to deformation or flow, with higher viscosity indicating thicker and slower-flowing fluids. Choice A is incorrect because high viscosity means the solution flows slowly, not easily. Choice B is incorrect as high viscosity implies a high resistance to flow, not a low one. Choice D is irrelevant to viscosity and does not describe a characteristic associated with high viscosity.
