Answer to Question 1

A
Feedback:
Some anti-infectives are so active against the infective microorganisms that they actually cause the death of the cells they affect. These drugs are said to be bactericidal. Bactericidal action inhibits protein synthesis. Bacteriocidal agents do not prevent DNA replication , do not inhibit cell wall synthesis, and do not impact leukocytes.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
PTH is the most important regulator of serum calcium levels in the body. Renin controls blood pressure, epoetin stimulates production of red blood cells, and TSH stimulates thyroid hormone secretion.
