• A. Monosaccharides
• B. Disaccharides
• C. Polysaccharides
• D. Triglycerides

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, Triglycerides. Triglycerides are a type of fat, not a carbohydrate. Monosaccharides, disaccharides, and polysaccharides are all classifications of carbohydrates based on the number of sugar units they contain. Monosaccharides are the simplest form with one sugar unit, disaccharides contain two sugar units, and polysaccharides have multiple sugar units linked together.

4. Bones continuously lose and gain minerals. This ongoing process is called?

• A. reorganization
• B. reorienting
• C. demineralizing
• D. remodeling

Correct answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D, 'remodeling.' Remodeling is the process by which bones continuously lose and gain minerals, maintaining bone strength and integrity over time. 'Reorganization' (choice A), 'reorienting' (choice B), and 'demineralizing' (choice C) do not accurately describe the process of bones continuously losing and gaining minerals.

5. Which test is used to monitor the degree of blood glucose control over a long period?

• A. Glucose tolerance test
• B. Glycated hemoglobin level
• C. Self-monitoring of blood glucose
• D. 24-hour urinary glucose excretion

Correct answer: B

Rationale: The correct answer is B, glycated hemoglobin level. The glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) test measures the average blood glucose levels over the past 2-3 months, providing a long-term picture of glucose control. Choice A, the glucose tolerance test, measures how well your body processes glucose but is not specifically for long-term monitoring. Choice C, self-monitoring of blood glucose, involves daily testing by individuals, providing immediate rather than long-term information. Choice D, 24-hour urinary glucose excretion, measures the amount of glucose excreted in the urine over 24 hours and is not typically used for long-term monitoring of blood glucose control.
