TEAS version 7 quizlet science

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Lysosomes are membrane-bound organelles containing digestive enzymes that break down macromolecules, such as proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids, into their smaller building blocks. These enzymes help in the process of intracellular digestion and recycling of cellular components. The Golgi apparatus is involved in processing and packaging proteins for secretion or for use within the cell. Mitochondria are responsible for producing energy in the form of ATP through cellular respiration. The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein synthesis and lipid metabolism. Therefore, the correct answer is 'C: Lysosomes' as they specifically function in the breakdown of macromolecules into smaller components, distinguishing them from the other organelles mentioned.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C, Gliding joint. Gliding joints allow for side-to-side bending movements. These joints are found between the small bones of the wrist and ankle, allowing for flexibility and movement in multiple directions. Hinge joints (A) enable movement in one plane, akin to a door hinge. Ball-and-socket joints (B) allow for a wide range of motion across multiple directions. Saddle joints (D) facilitate movement in two planes.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Volume refers to the amount of space occupied by an object. It is a measure of the three-dimensional space that an object occupies. Mass, on the other hand, refers to the amount of matter in an object, weight is the force of gravity acting on an object, and density is the mass of an object per unit volume. In this context, volume is the most appropriate choice as it directly relates to the amount of space an object occupies.

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.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: Density is defined as the amount of mass in a given volume. The formula for calculating density is Density = Mass / Volume. This means that you divide the mass of an object by its volume to determine its density. Therefore, the correct formula for calculating density is Density = Volume / Mass. Choice A is correct because density is calculated by dividing the volume by the mass. Choices B, C, and D are incorrect because they do not represent the correct relationship between mass and volume in calculating density.
