Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The chemical name describes the chemical components such as molecular and anatomic structure of the drug. It is not the commonly used name when referencing the drug.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Biological sources include glands, body fluid, organs, fats, and living cells. Animal sources and insects are used to manufacture drugs. Plants provide us with gums, oils, and anatomic parts for drug bases. Mineral sources are common in the body. Chemical sources can be synthetic or semisynthetic.
