ATI TEAS BIOLOGY CONCEPTS ACTUAL EXAM 2025| 130 QUESTIONS WITH
VERIFIED ACCURATE SOLUTIONS
1. What is the primary characteristic of reflex actions as described in
the context of somatic reflexes?
They are voluntary and variable.
They are involuntary and predictable.
They are dependent on conscious thought.
They require complex processing in the brain.
2. If a newborn is not breastfed and does not receive any antibodies
through the placenta, what potential risks might they face regarding
their immune system, and how could this situation be addressed?
They would have a strong immune system and would not need
any intervention.
They would be at a higher risk for infections, and
immunoglobulin therapy could be administered to provide
passive immunity.
They would develop active immunity more quickly due to lack
of passive immunity.
They would be immune to all diseases due to their innate
immunity.
3. What are the three primary germ layers formed during gastrulation?
Ectoderm, Mesoderm,
Endoderm Ectoderm,
, Endoderm, Neural crest
Mesoderm, Limb buds,
Endoderm
Neural crest, Germ layers, Circulatory system
4. Which of the following is a characteristic of the adaptive immune
system?
The adaptive immune system is responsible for attacking all
foreign particles in the body.
, Antibodies are rapidly produced as soon as an antigen is
detected
The system has particular cells for specific organs, for example
the microglial cell is part of the adaptive immune system for the
brain.
A key to the adaptive immune system is memory cells.
The adaptive immune system relies completely on complement
to hinder pathogens.
5. What is the pH level of vinegar, which makes it suitable for simulating
acid rain?
Greater than 7
Equal to 7
Less than 7
Neutral
6. Explain how bicarbonate functions as a buffer in the blood. What
is its relationship with carbonic acid?
Bicarbonate absorbs excess oxygen and releases carbon
dioxide.
Bicarbonate reacts with acids to form carbonic acid, which helps
maintain pH balance.
Bicarbonate converts sugars into energy, stabilizing pH
levels. Bicarbonate binds to cholesterol, preventing pH
changes.
, 7. A rapid, predictable, and involuntary response to a stimulus is
a(n) nerve impulse.
somatic reflex.
autonomic reflex.
reflex.
