Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
The kidneys are the primary organ system responsible for drug elimination. To a lesser extent, the GI tract, the respiratory system, sweat, saliva, tears, and breast milk are also involved.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Conjugation, a phase II reaction, forms a covalent bond between the functional group added by the phase I reaction (or, occasionally, some other functional group) and a highly polar molecule derived from within the body.
