TEAS 7 TERMINOLOGY EXAM
QUESTIONS WITH COMPLETE
ANSWERS
which of the following food contain mostly lipids?
A. potatoes
B. oil
C. chicken
D. lettuce - Answer-oil
what is a common disaccharide? - Answer-sucrose (table sugar)
what is a common monosaccharide also known as glucose? - Answer-C6H12O6
How are disaccharides formed? - Answer-Two monosaccharides are linked together
through dehydration synthesis. (sucrose is made up by 1 glucose monosaccharide and
1 fructose monosaccharide)
where is glycogen stored? - Answer-liver and muscles
what are polysaccharides? - Answer-carbohydrate molecules formed by large numbers
of linked monosaccharides. Animals store the monosaccharide glucose in the form of
polysaccharide glycogen
what makes up a lipid? - Answer-lipids are formed from a linear arrangement of carbon
atoms and hydrogen atoms called "fatty-acid chains" that are attached to a glycerol
molecule. Lipids tend to be hydrophobic and non polar.
what are the 4 groups of lipids? - Answer-1) fats (triglycerides) & oil
2) phospholipids
3) waxes
4) steroids
what enzyme is produced and secreted by stomach cells and initiates protein digestion
in the stomach? - Answer-pepsin
what makes up a nucleic acid? - Answer-polymers made of linked nucleotides that
contain hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorus
what are the 3 components of nucleic acid? - Answer--nitrogenous base (A,T,C,G)
-sugar
-phosphate group (atom bound to 4 oxygen atoms)
, what term is used to describe all disease-causing microorganisms? - Answer-pathogen
which of the following is at the core of every virus particle? - Answer-RNA or DNA
Which microscope achieves the highest magnification and greatest resolution? -
Answer-electron
which of the following are considered microorganisms? (select all that apply)
A. mosquitoes
B. protozoa
C. bacteria
D. fungi - Answer-protozoa, bacteria, fungi
explain the difference between infectious and non-infectious diseases - Answer-
infectious diseases are diseases that are connected from person-to-person caused by a
pathogen. A non-infectious disease are contracted, due to poor nutrition, genetic,
gender, and age. examples of non-infectious diseases are cancer, asthma, and
diabetes
what are examples of microoganisms/ microbes? - Answer-bacteria, viruses, fungi,
protozoa, or animals (parasites)
Are bacteria prokaryotic or eukaryotic? - Answer-Prokaryotic
what two microorganism are eukaryotic? - Answer-protozoans and fungi
what are 6 types of light microscope? - Answer-1. bright- field
2. dark-field
3. phase contrast
4. fluorescence
5. confocal scanning laser
6. differential interference contrast
List the six components of the biological hierarchy of the body, from the least to most
complex. - Answer-chemicals, cells, tissues, organs, organ system, organism
which of the following describes the function of the ribosome? - Answer-protein
synthesis
because muscle cells require large amount of energy to function correctly, which
organelles would be abundant in those types of cells? - Answer-mitochondira
which of the following organelles houses the genetic material? - Answer-nucleus
what are the 5 phases of mitosis? - Answer-1. interphase
2. prophase
