ATI TEAS TEST PRACTICE
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The price of a 20" television changed from $450 to $400. Find
the percentage change in price.
A.
-10%
B.
-11%
C.
-13%
D.
-15% - CORRECT ANSWER-Correct answer: -11%
Change in price: 450 - 400 = 50
To determine the percentage change, divide the change in
price by the initial price:
50 = 0.1111
450
Multiply by 100 to determine the percentage: 0.1111 × 100 =
11.11%
Because the price decreased, the change in price is negative: -
11.11%, or about -11%
Which of the following is not a type of natural lipid?
,A.
Supersaturated
B.
Polyunsaturated
C.
Saturated
D.
Unsaturated - CORRECT ANSWER-Correct answer:
Supersaturated
There are three types of natural lipids: unsaturated,
polyunsaturated, and saturated. Supersaturation is a not a
naturally occurring lipid.
Unsaturated and polyunsaturated lipids have one or more
double bonds between carbon atoms of fatty acid chains;
saturated lipids share no such double bonds.
A common example of supersaturation is rock candy, which is
created from a supersaturated sugar solution.
Which of the following is not true of mitosis?
A.
Daughter cells are different than parent cells
B.
Daughter cells are identical to parent cells
C.
It produces daughter cells
D.
, It occurs only in eukaryotic cells - CORRECT ANSWER-Correct
answer: Daughter cells are different than parent cells
Mitosis is a cell cycle during which a parent cell produces an
identical daughter cell. It has four main phases: prophase,
metaphase, anaphase, and telophase. Since the parent and
daughter cells are identical, both diploids and haploids can
undergo mitosis.
Mitosis is a four-stage process that creates two identical cells
from one original cell.
Prophase is the first and longest stage of mitosis. In this stage,
the chromosomes become visible and the centrioles separate
and move to opposite poles of the cell.
Metaphase is the second stage of mitosis. In this stage, the
chromosomes line up across the center of the cell and become
connected to the spindle fiber at their centromere.
Anaphase is the third stage of mitosis. In this stage, the sister
chromatids separate into individual chromosomes and are
pulled apart.
Telophase is the fourth and last stage of mitosis. During this
stage, the chromosomes gather at opposite ends of the cell and
lose their distinct rod-like shapes. Two new nuclear membranes
then form around each of the two regions of DNA and the
spindle fibers disappear.
What is the role of the Golgi apparatus in the cell?
A.
To uptake food through the cell membrane
B.
To produce cellular respiration
C.
To provide intracellular digestion
