TEAS Practice Test Science Questions
Question 1 of 5
Where is keratin found?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: Keratin is a structural protein found in hair, skin, and nails, providing strength and protection. It forms the main structural component of hair, making choice D the correct answer. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect because keratin is not an enzyme released by the stomach, not released in the neuromuscular junction, and not found in the hypodermis. Remember that keratin is primarily associated with structural support in epithelial cells.
Question 2 of 5
Which of the following statements is true regarding the ventricles of the heart?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: All of these statements are true regarding the ventricles of the heart. The left ventricle does indeed pump oxygenated blood into the aorta, while the right ventricle pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary trunk. Ventricles are indeed the discharging chambers of the heart, responsible for pumping blood out into the circulatory system. Therefore, as all the statements are accurate, the correct answer is 'All of the above.' Choices A, B, and C are all correct statements about the ventricles, making them incorrect answers in isolation.
Question 3 of 5
What is the maximum volume of air that can be expelled from the lungs after maximum inhalation?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D, Vital capacity. Vital capacity represents the maximum volume of air that can be expelled from the lungs after a maximum inhalation. Tidal volume (Choice A) is the volume of air inspired or expired during normal breathing at rest and is not the maximum capacity. Total lung capacity (Choice B) refers to the maximum volume of air the lungs can accommodate including the residual volume, not just the expelled air. Ventilation rate (Choice C) is the rate at which air is moved in and out of the lungs, not the maximum volume of air that can be expelled.
Question 4 of 5
Which of the following are properties of a liquid?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The correct answer is D: 'Takes shape of container.' Liquids exhibit the property of taking the shape of their container while maintaining a fixed volume. This is due to the ability of liquid particles to flow and move freely within the container. Choices A, B, and C are incorrect. Choice A, 'High atomic attraction,' is not a general property of liquids as the level of attraction between liquid particles can vary. Choice B, 'Fixed volume,' is partially correct as liquids do have a fixed volume, but they do not have a fixed shape. Choice C, 'Low pressure,' is not a defining property of liquids.
Question 5 of 5
What is the primary function of the liver in the digestive system?
Correct Answer: B
Rationale: The liver's main function in the digestive system is to produce bile. Bile helps in the digestion and absorption of fats by emulsifying them, breaking down large fat globules into smaller droplets that can be acted upon by digestive enzymes. Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because the liver's primary role in the digestive system is not to absorb water, store glucose, or regulate metabolism. While the liver does have roles in metabolism and glucose regulation, its key function in digestion is bile production.
