ATI TEAS Science Practice Test Questions

Question 1 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 2 of 5

Which of the following is unique to covalent bonds?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: 'Bonding electrons are shared between two or more atoms.' This statement is unique to covalent bonds. In covalent bonds, atoms share electrons to achieve a stable electron configuration, which leads to the formation of a bond. This sharing of electrons is a fundamental characteristic of covalent bonds and distinguishes them from other types of chemical bonds, such as ionic bonds, where electrons are transferred rather than shared. Choices A, B, and D do not represent unique characteristics of covalent bonds. Choice A describes some common elements involved in covalent bonds, choice B refers to the concept of dipoles, which can also exist in other types of bonds, and choice D describes a property of molecules (crystalline solid structure) that is not exclusive to covalent bonds.

Question 3 of 5

Which plane divides the body into superior (top) and inferior (bottom) halves?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The Transverse or Cross-Section Plane is the correct answer as it divides the body into superior (top) and inferior (bottom) halves. This plane runs horizontally across the body, perpendicular to the long axis, separating the body into upper and lower sections. Choice A, the Sagittal/Median Plane, divides the body into left and right halves, not superior and inferior halves. Choice B, the Frontal/Coronal Plane, divides the body into anterior (front) and posterior (back) halves. Choice D, the Horizontal Plane, is not a standard anatomical plane used to divide the body into specific sections.

Question 4 of 5

What is the basic structure of an atom?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The basic structure of an atom consists of protons and neutrons located in the nucleus, with electrons orbiting around the nucleus in specific energy levels or shells. Protons carry a positive charge, neutrons carry no charge, and electrons carry a negative charge. This arrangement maintains the overall neutrality of the atom, with the number of protons equaling the number of electrons. Therefore, the correct answer is 'Protons, neutrons, electrons.' Choices B, C, and D are incorrect as they do not accurately represent the fundamental components of an atom. Choice B includes 'ions,' which are charged particles, not fundamental components of an atom. Choice C includes 'ions' and lacks protons. Choice D includes 'ions' and 'molecules,' which are not part of the basic structure of an atom.

Question 5 of 5

What are the three types of capillaries?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The correct answer is A: Continuous, fenestrated, sinusoidal. Capillaries are classified into three types based on their permeability: continuous (least permeable), fenestrated (moderately permeable), and sinusoidal (most permeable). Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the three main types of capillaries. Choice B includes 'discontinuous' which is not a recognized type. Choice C includes 'alveolar' which is not a type of capillary, and Choice D includes 'vascular' which is too broad and not specific to capillary classification.
