Which of the following is NOT a type of drug receptor?

  1. G-protein coupled receptors

  2. Ligand-gated ion channels

  3. Nuclear receptors

  4. Enzyme-linked receptors


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

What is the term for the process by which a drug is converted into a more active form?

  1. Bioactivation

  2. Metabolism

  3. Excretion

  4. Distribution


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Which of the following is NOT a type of drug interaction?

  1. Synergism

  2. Antagonism

  3. Potentiation

  4. Metabolism


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

What is the term for the study of the relationship between drug concentration and its effects?

  1. Pharmacokinetics

  2. Pharmacodynamics

  3. Toxicology

  4. Clinical Trials


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Pharmacodynamics is the study of the relationship between drug concentration and its effects.

Which of the following is NOT a type of adverse drug reaction?

  1. Allergic reaction

  2. Idiosyncratic reaction

  3. Dose-dependent reaction

  4. Teratogenic reaction


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Teratogenic reactions are not a type of adverse drug reaction, but rather a type of birth defect caused by exposure to a drug during pregnancy.

What is the term for the study of the safety and efficacy of drugs in humans?

  1. Clinical Trials

What is the term for the process of developing a new drug?

  1. Drug Discovery

  2. Drug Development

  3. Clinical Trials

  4. Pharmacokinetics


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

  1. Pharmacokinetics

  2. Pharmacodynamics

  3. Toxicology

  4. Clinical Trials


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Pharmacokinetics is the study of the fate of drugs in the body, including their absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.

Which of the following is NOT a type of drug metabolism enzyme?

  1. Cytochrome P450

  2. UDP-glucuronosyltransferases

  3. Glutathione S-transferases

  4. Acetyltransferases
