ATI TEAS: Practice Test Part 2
This flashcard set covers essential biomolecules—nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates—as well as fundamental energy types like potential and mechanical energy. It helps reinforce the relationship between structure and function in biology and biochemistry.

The specific stage of meiosis during which a cells chromosomes number is reduced by 1/2 is ? | Anaphase |
Prophage I | |
Anaphase | *(2) chromosomes separate and move toward opposite poles of the cell as a result of action of spindle |
Prophase II | |
Monosaccharides | Simple sugars | Building blocks for carbs |
Fatty acids | Molecules that are long chains of lipid carboxylate acid in fats / oils in cell membrane of phospholipids |
Nucleotides | DNA consists of sugar (deoxyribose) |
Myosin | Contain "heads" that contact actin and pull the actin fibers together in an ATP dependent mechanism that causes muscle to contract |
Dyenin | ATP- splitting enzyme essential to modify of cilia/flagella, because of its interactive with microtubules. |
