Questions and Answers

What type of bonds are responsible for the primary structure of a protein?

  • Disulfide bonds
  • Ionic bonds
  • Hydrogen bonds
  • Peptide bonds (correct)

    • What is the main difference between pharmacology and pharmacokinetics?

  • Pharmacokinetics studies drug metabolism, while pharmacology studies drug safety.
  • Pharmacology deals with drug effects on the body, while pharmacokinetics concerns drug movement in the body. (correct)
  • Pharmacokinetics studies the therapeutic index, whereas pharmacology focuses on drug targets.
  • Pharmacology focuses on drug interactions, while pharmacokinetics studies drug absorption.

    • What is the significance of a high therapeutic index for a drug?

  • A high therapeutic index suggests the drug is safer to use. (correct)
  • A high therapeutic index indicates a narrow safety margin.
  • A high therapeutic index means the drug is very potent.
  • A high therapeutic index implies a high LD50 value.
