Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: Diffusion is the movement of a chemical from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. Active transport is the movement of a chemical against concentration or gradient. Osmosis involves the movement of water, and metabolism involves chemical conversion. (pp. 3740)

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3
Rationale: The four categories of pharmacokinetics are absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion.
