Answer to Question 1

D
Feedback:
Embedded in the cell membrane are a series of peripheral proteins with several functions. One type of protein located on the cell membrane is known as a receptor site. This protein reacts with specific chemicals outside the cell to stimulate a reaction within a cell. Receptor sites do not prevent lysis of the cell wall nor do they stimulate a reaction outside of the cell.

Answer to Question 2

B
Feedback:
Halothane is of particular benefit to a child with asthma because it dilates bronchi. Halothane is inhaled drug so it is not metabolized in the liver or excreted in the urine. It does not cause an accumulation of secretions.
