Why are polymeric nanoparticles used for controlled drug delivery
Polymeric nanoparticles are biodegradable and biocompatible, reducing tissue buildup. Their nanocapsule structure protects drugs and enables targeted delivery via functionalized shells.
What are some potential applications of artificial cells in medicine and biotechnology? Provide at least three examples
-Drug Carriers (Microcapsules)
- Signaling Regulators
- Tiny Bioreactors
What is the hybridoma technique
The hybridoma technique is a method for producing monoclonal antibodies.
How can agricultural biotechnology and genetically modified organisms (GMOs) ensure sustainability in food production in the future?
GMOs and CRISPR boost yields and resilience; cut water use, respect ethics
What is the most utilized biological wastewater treatment method for microplastic contamination?
Activated Sludge Method
What is the main advantage of using microbial fuel cells (MFCs) in wastewater treatment?
MFCs clean wastewater while generating power. This makes it energy-efficient and environmentally friendly
Miniaturized biosensors can give a result in under how many minutes?
Under 10 minutes
AI analysis reaches roughly what percent accuracy at classifying respiratory viruses?
99%
What are the goals of drug delivery systems
1) Improve aqueous solubility and chemical stability of active agents.
2) Increase pharmacological activity.
3) Reduce side effects
What are the advantages of Magnetic Nanoparticles in Brain Treatment? (Write two items)
- Targeted Drug Delivery
- Theranostic Applications
What makes microalgae more sustainable than traditional carbon capture methods?
They use natural photosynthesis and convert CO2 into useful products.
Write at least two advantages of 3D bioprinters used in tissue engineering
- Bioprinting has the potential to replace organ donors.
- Bioprinters can prevent cell rejection
- Bioprinting reduces the use of animals in testing labs
In which types of cancer is CAR-T Therapy used?
1) Solid Tumor Cancer
2) Lung Cancer
3) Breast Cancer
4) Prostate Cancer
What is the main purpose of Cancer immunotherapy?
to improve the anti-tumor immune response
What are the main differences between homogeneous base and homogeneous acid catalysts in biodiesel production, and in what situations is each preferred?
- Homogeneous base catalysts are fast and effective at low temperatures, suitable for low FFA feedstock.
-FFA feedstocks.- Homogeneous acid catalysts are better for high-FFA feedstocks but are slower, require high temps, and are corrosive
What are the environmental and economic advantages of using biofertilizers in agricultural production?
- Increases crop yield by 10 to 40 percent.
- Reduces the need for chemical fertilizers.
- Improves soil health.
- Decreases environmental pollution.
- Maintains long-term soil fertility.
- Cost-effective and sustainable
