TEAS 7 practice test free science

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A) This statement is a duplicate of option C and does not accurately describe cytokinesis in animal cells. B) In animal cells, during cytokinesis, a cleavage furrow forms in the center of the dividing cell. This furrow deepens and eventually pinches the cytoplasm into two daughter cells. This process is distinct from plant cells, where a cell plate forms. C) This statement is a duplicate of option A and does not accurately describe cytokinesis in animal cells. D) This statement describes the process of nuclear division (mitosis) rather than cytokinesis, which is the division of the cytoplasm.

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: The vas deferens is the correct answer. It is the tube that carries sperm from the testes to the urethra during ejaculation. The vas deferens plays a crucial role in transporting mature sperm for ejaculation. The epididymis is responsible for sperm maturation and storage, not the direct passage of sperm to the urethra. The seminal vesicle produces fluid that combines with sperm to form semen but is not the tube for sperm transport. The urethra serves as the passageway for both urine and semen out of the body but is not the specific tube that transports sperm from the testes to the urethra.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Exocytosis is the transport mechanism that uses vesicles to move materials out of the cell. Vesicles carry substances to the cell membrane, fuse with it, and release their contents outside the cell. This process is essential for secreting molecules such as hormones, enzymes, or neurotransmitters. Endocytosis, on the other hand, is the process of bringing materials into the cell by engulfing them in vesicles. Active transport involves the movement of molecules across a cell membrane against their concentration gradient, requiring energy. Diffusion is the passive movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Watt (W). Power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred. The unit of power is the watt (W), named after James Watt, the inventor of the steam engine. A Newton-meter (N�m) is a unit of torque, Joule (J) is a unit of energy, and Kilogram (kg) is a unit of mass, not power. Therefore, choices A, B, and D are incorrect as they represent units of torque, energy, and mass, respectively, and not power.

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Adipose tissue, also known as fat, serves multiple essential functions in the body. It provides support by cushioning and protecting organs, acts as an insulator to help regulate body temperature, and serves as a major energy storage site by storing excess energy in the form of triglycerides. Therefore, all the options (support, insulation, and energy storage) are correct functions of adipose tissue, making 'All of the above' the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are all individually valid functions of adipose tissue, but to encompass the comprehensive role of adipose tissue, 'All of the above' is the most accurate option.
