ATI TEAS 7 science review Questions

Question 1 of 5

Which term refers to the condition where a muscle shortens in length while generating force, leading to movement at a joint?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: Concentric contraction refers to the condition where a muscle shortens in length while generating force, leading to movement at a joint. This type of contraction is commonly associated with the lifting phase of an exercise where the muscle is actively shortening against resistance. Isometric contraction (Choice A) involves muscle contraction without a change in muscle length, Eccentric contraction (Choice B) involves the muscle lengthening while generating force, and Isotonic contraction (Choice C) refers to muscle contraction against a constant load with a change in muscle length.

Question 2 of 5

What is a characteristic feature of a convex lens?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A convex lens is characterized by its ability to converge light rays. The convex lens is thicker in the middle and thinner at the edges, causing light rays passing through it to converge or come together at a focal point on the opposite side of the lens. This convergence of light rays is what distinguishes convex lenses. Choice B is incorrect as convex lenses do not diverge light rays. Choice C is incorrect as convex lenses do not focus sound waves but rather light waves. Choice D is incorrect as convex lenses can create both real and virtual images, not just virtual images.

Question 3 of 5

What is the term for a solution that contains the maximum amount of solute that can dissolve at a specific temperature and pressure?

Correct Answer: A

Rationale: A saturated solution is defined as a solution that has dissolved the maximum amount of solute possible at a specific temperature and pressure. In a saturated solution, any additional solute added will not dissolve, resulting in a visible precipitate. Choice B, unsaturated solution, refers to a solution where more solute can still be dissolved. Choices C and D, dilute solution and concentrated solution, do not specifically refer to the maximum amount of solute that can be dissolved at a given temperature and pressure, making them incorrect in this context.

Question 4 of 5

During antibiotic use, bacteria can evolve resistance. This is an example of:

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The process of bacteria evolving resistance to antibiotics due to the selective pressure exerted by the antibiotics is an example of artificial selection (human intervention selecting for certain traits) acting on a natural process (bacterial evolution). Antibiotic use creates a selective pressure that favors the survival and reproduction of bacteria with resistance traits, leading to the evolution of antibiotic-resistant strains. - Coevolution (option A) refers to the influence of two species on each other's evolution, which is not the case in the scenario described in the question. - Convergent evolution (option B) involves unrelated organisms evolving similar traits due to similar environmental pressures, which is not directly applicable to the situation of bacteria evolving resistance to antibiotics. - Macroevolution (option C) refers to large-scale evolutionary changes over long periods, which is not specifically demonstrated in the context of bacteria evolving resistance during antibiotic use.

Question 5 of 5

Which type of fiber is insoluble and promotes gut motility?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A) Pectin is a soluble fiber found in fruits and vegetables. It forms a gel-like substance in the gut and can help lower cholesterol levels. B) Cellulose is an insoluble fiber found in plants, particularly in the cell walls of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. It adds bulk to the stool and promotes gut motility by aiding in the movement of food through the digestive system. C) Beta-glucan is a soluble fiber found in oats and barley. It can help lower cholesterol levels and improve blood sugar control. D) Guar gum is a soluble fiber derived from guar beans. It can help with digestion and may have a role in managing blood sugar levels. In this case, the question specifically asks for the type of fiber that is insoluble and promotes gut motility, which is characteristic of cellulose.
