TEAS version 7 quizlet science

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A liquid is the state of matter that has a definite volume but can flow and take the shape of its container. Solids have a definite shape and volume but do not flow as liquids do. Gases do not have a definite shape or volume but can flow to fill their container. Plasma is a state of matter where the particles are highly energized and do not have a definite shape or volume, thus not fitting the description of having a definite shape and volume while being able to flow.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: In the balanced equation for the Haber process: N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3, the stoichiometric coefficient of nitrogen (N2) is 1. This means that one molecule of nitrogen reacts with three molecules of hydrogen to produce two molecules of ammonia. The coefficient '1' indicates the mole ratio of N2 in the reaction. Choice B, 2, is incorrect because it represents the coefficient for ammonia (NH3) in the balanced equation. Choice C, 3, is incorrect as it corresponds to the coefficient of hydrogen (H2). Choice D, 4, is not the correct stoichiometric coefficient for nitrogen (N2) in this equation.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The cell membrane is primarily composed of lipids, specifically phospholipids, which form a lipid bilayer. This lipid bilayer controls what enters and exits the cell, providing a barrier that is selectively permeable. While proteins are also important components of the cell membrane and play various roles, lipids are the main structural component responsible for the membrane's permeability and function. Carbohydrates and nucleic acids are not the primary components of the cell membrane and do not have the same structural role as lipids.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: The kidneys play a crucial role in regulating blood pressure through various mechanisms. One of the key ways the kidneys regulate blood pressure is by controlling the volume of blood in the body. They do this by adjusting the amount of water and sodium excreted in the urine. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system, primarily controlled by the kidneys, also plays a significant role in blood pressure regulation. This system helps to maintain blood pressure by regulating blood volume and systemic vascular resistance. While the heart, adrenal glands, and pituitary gland are involved in various aspects of the cardiovascular and endocrine systems, the kidneys are the main organ responsible for regulating blood pressure.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Work done is defined as the product of the force applied and the distance moved in the direction of the force. In this scenario, when the box comes to a stop, the displacement becomes zero, leading to zero work done by the person. Choice A is incorrect as the work done is not increasing, but rather decreasing as the box slows down. Choice B is incorrect because the work done does not decrease as the box slows down; it becomes zero when the box stops. Choice C is incorrect as the work done is not constant but decreases to zero when the box stops.
