ACE THE ATI TEAS 7 SCIENCE SECTION—WITH COMPLETE STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATIONS! 🔬 This is your comprehensive science test bank with 53 realistic questions and detailed answer explanations that teach you WHY each answer is correct. WHAT'S INSIDE: ORGAN SYSTEMS: Digestive system provides defense? NO (that's Immune system!) Head is SUPERIOR to neck! Directional terms explained CELL BIOLOGY: Lysosomes: Break down macromolecules! Golgi = transport, Ribosomes = protein synthesis Cell Membrane: Lipid bilayer (NOT single layer)! Hydrophilic heads, hydrophobic tails Nucleus: Contains most genetic material! RESPIRATORY SYSTEM: Emphysema: Increases lung compliance (damaged alveoli, delayed recoil) Surfactant: Produced by lung to reduce surface tension (prevents collapse!) Diffusion: Gas exchange across alveolar membrane (oxygen high → low concentration) Hyperventilation: Decreased CO₂ → increased pH (alkalosis!) CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM: Blood Flow Order: Left ventricle → Aorta → Arteries → Arterioles → Capillaries → Venules → Veins → Vena Cava → Right atrium Purkinje Fibers: If SA node signal fails, Purkinje fibers act as pacemakers (slower rate: 20-40 bpm) DIGESTIVE SYSTEM: Stomach: Secretes pepsinogen for protein digestion Villi & Microvilli: Increase surface area for absorption (NOT for pushing food!) Bile: Fat emulsification in small intestine (produced by liver, stored in gallbladder) Amylase: Breaks down polysaccharides to disaccharides MUSCULAR SYSTEM: Acetylcholine (ACh): Binds to sarcolemma receptors → opens sodium channels → muscle contraction Sliding Filament Theory: Calcium binds to troponin → actin-myosin binding Sarcomere: Actin (thin) and myosin (thick) filaments slide past each other NERVOUS SYSTEM: Autonomic Nervous System: Controls involuntary actions (digestion, breathing, heart contraction) Somatic Nervous System: Controls voluntary actions (chewing!) ENDOCRINE SYSTEM: Type 1 Diabetes: Absence of insulin Positive Feedback: Childbirth (oxytocin stimulates cervical stretching → more oxytocin!) FSH: Stimulates follicle development & sperm production (NOT ovulation—that's LH!) ADH (Vasopressin): Water reabsorption in collecting duct RAAS: Renin (kidney) → Angiotensin I → ACE → Angiotensin II (vasoconstriction) → Aldosterone (salt reabsorption) URINARY SYSTEM: Nephron: Collecting duct = water reabsorption (NOT secretion!) Kidney: Removes salts from blood during filtration IMMUNE SYSTEM: Helper T-cells: Produce cytokines (facilitate B-cells and cytotoxic T-cells) Autoimmune Disease: Immune cells attack body's own organs Adaptive Immunity: Activation of B and T lymphocytes, memory cells INTEGUMENTARY SYSTEM: Epidermis: Protects from abrasions, heat, microbes, chemicals (avascular—NO blood vessels!) Sebaceous Glands: Oily secretions for hair shafts and skin Apocrine Sweat Glands: Odor with possible pheromone function MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM: Axis (C2): Side-to-side head movement (Atlas = up/down "yes"; Axis = side-to-side "no") Joint: Where two or more bones meet Brittle Bone Disease: Defective/deficient collagen (genetic defect) Hinge Joint: Single axis (flexion/extension only—elbows, knees!) GENETICS: Mitosis: Asexual reproduction, growth, repair (NOT producing gametes—that's meiosis!) Cell Differentiation: Due to expression of alternate genetic information Mendelian Inheritance: FF and Ff = black fur (dominant phenotype); ff = white fur (recessive) Natural Selection: Steps: Overproduction (3) → Differing survival (1) → Preservation of traits (2) CHEMISTRY: Electron Shells: Same across period, increases down group Phospholipid "Head": Phosphate group + glycerol molecule pH 6 is more acidic than pH 8 Temperature increases reaction rate: Beaker B (100°C) produces more product than Beaker A (75°C) Osmosis: Requires selectively permeable membrane Phase Diagram: Temperature (x-axis) and pressure (y-axis); triple point (solid/liquid/gas coexist) Sublimation: Solid → Gas directly (no liquid phase, e.g., dry ice!) SCIENTIFIC METHOD: Poorly-constructed experiment: Not enough data to conclude (sunlight & mood study) Double-blind experiment: More accurate than single-blind (prevents unconscious researcher bias) Control variable: Held constant during experiment Population decline: Emigration + Deaths > Immigration + Births Serial dilution: Each step reduces concentration 10-fold (work backwards to find Solution 2) PLUS: Kilogram (SI unit of mass), hinge joints, sublimation, and MORE! 53 questions.
