Practice TEAS Science Test Questions
Question 1 of 5
In aerobic respiration, how many ATP molecules are produced per molecule of FADH2?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The correct answer is B: 2. During aerobic respiration, each molecule of FADH2 produces 2 ATP molecules. FADH2 enters the electron transport chain and contributes to the generation of ATP. Choice A (1), Choice C (3), and Choice D (4) are incorrect because FADH2 specifically yields 2 ATP molecules per molecule in the process of aerobic respiration.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following antibodies can cross the placenta?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The correct answer is IgG. IgG is the only antibody that can cross the placenta, providing passive immunity to the developing fetus. IgA, IgD, and IgM do not cross the placenta. IgA is mainly found in mucosal secretions, IgD is involved in the activation of B cells, and IgM is the first antibody produced in response to an infection, but it does not cross the placental barrier.
Question 3 of 5
Which body system is responsible for the transport of dissolved oxygen from the lungs to the spleen?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is the cardiovascular system (Option D). The cardiovascular system is responsible for transporting oxygenated blood from the lungs, where oxygen is absorbed, to various tissues and organs in the body, including the spleen. The immune system (Option A) is responsible for defending the body against infections and diseases. The endocrine system (Option B) regulates hormones and their effects on the body. The respiratory system (Option C) is responsible for the exchange of gases, such as oxygen and carbon dioxide, in the lungs.
Question 4 of 5
What is the best tool to measure the volume of a solid?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: A graduated cylinder is the most suitable tool to measure the volume of both liquids and solids. It works by measuring the displacement of water when the solid is submerged in the graduated cylinder. Choice A, the triple beam balance, is used to measure mass, not volume. Choice B, using a measuring wheel and mathematical formula, is typically used to measure distance or area, not volume. Choice D, a measuring wheel, is used to measure distance, making it inappropriate for measuring the volume of a solid.
Question 5 of 5
Which of the following is an example of Mendelian inheritance?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'Recessive Inheritance.' Mendelian inheritance involves traits controlled by single genes with dominant and recessive alleles. Incomplete dominance (choice A) is a non-Mendelian inheritance pattern where the heterozygous phenotype is a blend of the two homozygous phenotypes. Polygenic alleles (choice B) involve multiple genes contributing to a single trait, not following Mendelian principles. Combination inheritance (choice C) is not a recognized term in genetics and does not describe Mendelian inheritance patterns.
