TEAS Test 7 science quizlet

1. In the reaction 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O, how many moles of oxygen are required to react completely with 4 moles of hydrogen?

A. 1
B. 2
C. 3
D. 4

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The balanced chemical equation indicates that 2 moles of H2 react with 1 mole of O2 to produce 2 moles of H2O. To determine how many moles of O2 are required to react with 4 moles of H2, you can use the mole ratio from the balanced equation: 2 moles of H2 react with 1 mole of O2. Therefore, to react completely with 4 moles of H2, you would need 2 moles of O2 (4 moles H2 ÷ 2 moles H2 per 1 mole O2). Hence, 2 moles of oxygen are required to react completely with 4 moles of hydrogen. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because they do not reflect the correct stoichiometry as defined by the balanced chemical equation.

2. How can the peripheral nervous system be further divided?

A. Sensory and motor
B. Sympathetic and parasympathetic
C. Myelinated and unmyelinated
D. Central and peripheral

Correct answer: A

Rationale: The peripheral nervous system can be further divided into sensory (afferent) neurons that carry information from sensory receptors to the central nervous system and motor (efferent) neurons that carry information from the central nervous system to muscles and glands. Choice A, 'Sensory and motor,' is the correct answer as it accurately identifies the two main functional divisions of the peripheral nervous system. Choices B, 'Sympathetic and parasympathetic,' are divisions of the autonomic nervous system, not the peripheral nervous system. Choice C, 'Myelinated and unmyelinated,' refers to the structural classification of nerve fibers rather than functional divisions. Choice D, 'Central and peripheral,' contrasts the central nervous system with the peripheral nervous system, not further dividing the peripheral nervous system itself.

3. Which of the following nucleic acids carries the genetic information copied from DNA to the ribosomes?

A. DNA
B. mRNA
C. rRNA
D. tRNA

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B: mRNA. Messenger RNA (mRNA) is responsible for carrying the genetic information copied from DNA to the ribosomes for protein synthesis. mRNA serves as a temporary copy of the genetic instructions stored in DNA and acts as a messenger between the nucleus and ribosomes in the cytoplasm where protein synthesis occurs. While rRNA (ribosomal RNA) and tRNA (transfer RNA) play essential roles in the process of translation at the ribosomes, mRNA is the nucleic acid directly involved in carrying the genetic code for protein synthesis. Therefore, choices A, C, and D are incorrect as DNA is the original genetic material, rRNA is a component of the ribosomes, and tRNA carries amino acids during protein synthesis, respectively.

4. How does AIDS impair the immune system?

A. AIDS targets and destroys Helper T-Cells, preventing the activation of Cytotoxic T-Cells or B-Cells.
B. IgE stimulates mast cells to release excessive histamine.
C. IgE inhibits mast cells from releasing sufficient histamine.
D. Helper T-Cells deceive the body into attacking itself.

Correct answer: A

Rationale: AIDS targets and destroys Helper T-Cells, which play a crucial role in coordinating the immune response. By affecting these cells, AIDS prevents the activation of other important immune cells like Cytotoxic T-Cells or B-Cells. This disruption in the immune system's communication and response mechanisms leads to immune system failure and increased vulnerability to infections. Choices B and C are incorrect because they refer to the role of IgE in allergic reactions, which is not directly related to how AIDS impairs the immune system. Choice D is also incorrect as Helper T-Cells being destroyed in AIDS is not about deceiving the body into attacking itself, but rather the direct impact on immune system function.

5. Which of the following is NOT a major component of a healthy blood pressure reading?

A. Systolic pressure (peak pressure during ventricular contraction)
B. Diastolic pressure (pressure within arteries during ventricular relaxation)
C. Pulse pressure (difference between systolic and diastolic pressure)
D. Blood oxygen saturation levels. While blood oxygen levels are crucial for overall health, they are not directly reflected in a blood pressure reading.

Correct answer: D

Rationale: Blood oxygen saturation levels are essential for overall health but are not directly part of a blood pressure reading. A healthy blood pressure reading consists of systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse pressure. Systolic pressure represents the peak pressure during ventricular contraction, diastolic pressure reflects the pressure within arteries during ventricular relaxation, and pulse pressure is the difference between systolic and diastolic pressure. These components collectively provide information about the pressure variations within the arteries throughout the cardiac cycle phases, contributing to the assessment of cardiovascular health. Therefore, choice D, blood oxygen saturation levels, is not a major component of a healthy blood pressure reading and is the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are major components of a healthy blood pressure reading and directly relate to the pressure variations within the arteries during different phases of the cardiac cycle.
