Answer 2

RECEPTORS

Question 3

Specific binding region of the macromolecule

Answer 3

RECEPTOR SITE/RECOGNITION SITE

Question 4

is the fundamental event that initiates the action of the drug

Interaction between the drug and the receptoR

Question 5

CLASSIFICATION OF RECEPTORS (4)

Answer 5

REGULATORY PROTEINS
ENZYMES
TRANSPORT PROTEINS
STRUCTURAL PROTEINS

Question 6

subserve specific physiologic functions

Answer 6

REGULATORY PROTEINS

Question 7

catalyzes/facilitates metabolic
processes

Answer 7

ENZYMES

Question 8

usually in the cell membrane, the raw materials of our metabolism is needed to be transported into the cell because we metabolize inside the cell.

Answer 8

TRANSPORT PROTEINS
