Q

the most prevalent form of sugar, consisting of monosaccharide chains of glucose and fructose. It is typically produced from sugar cane and sugar beets with hot water. It provides a rapid source of energy for the body but is not required for biological functions.

A

Sucrose

21
Q

disaccharide, plays an important
role in nutrition and medicine by supplying
energy, facilitating calcium absorption, and promoting gut bacteria growth. It is utilized in tolerance medications, lactose tests, and
gut health promotion.

A

Lactose

22
Q

is primarily used as a solvent due to its ability to dissolve a wide range of organic compounds.
Historically, it was employed as a general anesthetic in surgeries, but it has been largely replaced by safer and more effective alternative.

A

Q

in biomedical use, they are studied for their role in metabolic disorders such as obesity and cardiovascular disease.
Primary function of ___________ is energy storage and providing energy to the body

A

Triglycerides

24
Q

molecules composed of glycerol and one fatty acid. They are used in biomedical as emulsifiere for enabling the mixing of oil and water. Widely used in the food industry to improve product texture and consistency.
They are also used as carriers for drug delivery systems. They can enhance the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs.

A

Monoglycerides

25
Q

, also known as acetylsalicylic acid is non-steroidal inflammatory drug (NSAIDS).
The biomedical uses of Aspirin is commonly used to alleviate pain
and reduce inflammation. It achieves this by blocking the production of substances that cause these symptoms. Additionally it helps prevent heart attacks and stokes by preventing blood clots from forming.

A

Aspirin

Q

fatty acids are essential for heart health, cognitive function, and lowering the risk of chronic diseases.
They are also well-known for their anti-inflammatory qualities.

A

Omega 3

28
Q

essential fatty acid that serves as a precursor for the production of important
signaling molecules like
orostaglandins, thromboxanes, and leukotrienes which are essential
mediators of inflammation and
immune responses

A

Arachidonic acid

29
Q

It enhances repair of UV radiation-induced DNA damage in
human melanocytes, energy production, and regulation of cell death.
In biomedical use, it is used in the treatment of skin conditions like acne and may help reduce the risk of certain skin cancers.
